The XAM specification is published in 3 parts as follows: XAM - Part 1: Architecture - This document is intended to be used by two broad audiences. The first audience consists of application programmers who wish to use the XAM Application Programmers Interface (API) to create, access, manage, and query reference content through standardized methods that are collectively referred to as XAM (eXtensible Access Method).

The SNIA Computational Storage Technical Work Group (TWG) has been formed to create standards to promote the interoperability of computational storage devices, and to define interface standards for system deployment, provisioning, management, and security. This will enable storage architectures and software to be integrated with computation in its many forms. Acts as a primary technical entity for the SNIA to identify, develop, and coordinate computational features to be added to storage devices.

At SNIA, members collaborate through two primary types of groups: Technical Work Groups (TWGs) and Communities. Both support SNIA’s mission to advance and standardize technologies, but each plays a distinct and complementary role. SNIA Technical Work Groups are where technical development happens. TWGs collaborate to create and evolve vendor-neutral architectures, standards, specifications, and supporting software related to storage and handling and optimizing infrastructure for data.

The 2026 SNIA Preview highlighted the significant accomplishments and future plans of SNIA’s Technical Work Groups (TWGs) and Communities.
