Several new features are becoming a reality in SCSI and ATA this year, and I would like to participate in the discussions on supporting these new features.
a) SCSI conglomerate LUNs (using more bits in the LUN to manage groupings of logical units);
b) Atomic commands;
c) IO and LBA HINTS (for both SCSI and ATA/IDE);
a. For storage tiering;
b. For cache management;
d) FC - 128Gig parallel and breakout mode
I attend T10 (SCSI), T11 (FC), T13 (ATA/IDE), IETF (iSCSI), and SNIA and can provide expertise in the areas listed above as well as the topics covered in those standards committees.
