It was an honor to participate in the #SNIA Data Protection Best Practices white paper update:
https://www.snia.org/educational-library/data-protection-best-practices-2025
“Data protection” can have different meanings, requirements, and solutions depending on the technological orientation and experience of the audience, be it with regards to privacy, security, or storage. This paper focuses on the storage aspect of data protection, covering topics such as the role of data protection throughout the data lifecycle, drivers for data protection, and

ex Caffaro condannata a risarcire 453 milioni per l'inquinamento a Brescia, Torviscosa e Colleferro
La sentenza della Corte di giustizia dell'Unione Europea conferma quella della Corte d'Apello di Milano. A pagare sarà la multinazionale Usa LivaNova (che aveva già depositato la cifra) nata nel 2015 dalla fusione di Sorin (ex Snia) e Cyberonics
Translated:
Caffaro sentenced to pay €453 million for pollution in Brescia, Torviscosa and Colleferro.
The European Court of Justice's ruling confirms that of the Milan Court of Appeal. The multinational US company LivaNova (which had already deposited the amount) will have to pay. LivaNova was born in 2015 from the merger of Sorin (formerly Snia) and Cyberonics.

L'indicazione della Corte di giustizia dell'Unione Europea conferma la sentenza della Corte d'appello di Milano. Ora si attende la Cassazione. A pagare sarà la multinazionale Usa LivaNova nata nel 2015 dalla fusione di Sorin (ex Snia) e Cyberonics
Are you going to be at the SNIA Developer Conference this week? The #AzureStorage product group will be. We’re looking forward to getting to meet everyone and deliver some awesome sessions!
As I’ve previously mentioned I was fortunate enough to recently attend the joint SNIA’s Storage Developer 2023 Conference and Gestalt Storage Field Day 26 Event. At these events we both heard directly from companies in *FD style but also dove deep into the storage realm with an excellent collection of breakout sessions. One thing you did not hear much about at either event was traditional spinning hard disks. For all the new hotness such as AI/ML model building it just simply isn’t fast enough without throwing literal racks of it at the problem to keep up with the ingress. For edge use cases such as the super cool keynote about the Spaceborne Compute systems from HPE in the International Space Station or anything manufacturing related there is an idea that any kind of storage medium that moves will quickly become damaged because of environmental reasons. Next comes density. For the longest time we all wanted SSDs but you largely weren’t going to be able to get even into terabyte range and if you did the cost per gig were going to be so astronomically higher it wasn’t possible except for high speed workloads. Today we are not only seeing flash based disks economically in the multi-terabyte range but with the innovations into QLC such as what Solidigm is up to lately we’re seeing SSD rival and surpass spinning disk both in capacity and price. Take for example the D5-P5336 from Solidigm; these disks range from 15.36 TB up to 61.44 TB (coming soon) in a single device. That’s seems insane to me but at the same time this type of capacity is what is needed by the market. Paired with the D7-5810 by the Cloud Storage Acceleration Layer software as we saw during their SFD26 presentation to create a tiered storage system you can achieve amazing reads and writes while maintaining far lower cost than we associated with high speed, dense storage in the past. Finally with modern flash storage there is a much greater level of energy efficiency. This was a major topic of the conference, with sustainability being a core datacenter architectural design constraint how storage power consumption is involved. End of the day flash is to storage as LED bulbs are to your home’s lighting, it’s just better and cheaper and the technological innovations we need. Conclusion In the end where does that leave traditional spinning disks? I think you are going to still have the “cheap and deep” use case for now; think secondary backup storage or glacier style object storage platforms, but if the current trend of SSD pricing going to rock bottom continues those will become less common.
