Project 1244: IEEE Storage System Standards

Approaching its tenth anniversary, the IEEE Storage System Standards effort is in the process of balloting Media Management System (MMS) standards. These represent the first standards for the IEEE Storage System Standards Working Group (SSSWG), and the first storage system standards for the world. In the early years, SSSWG produced the Mass Storage System Reference Model (MSSRM), directly influencing the design of many successful commercial products and the MMS standards themselves. The IEEE Storage System Standards Committee (SSSC), sponsor of SSSWG, will work in the coming year to complete work on the suite of MMS standards, and begin work on new projects. New projects for SSSC in 2000 include tape standards, tape recommended practice, and a project to develop a Guide for Storage System Design. Existing and new collaborations with other groups developing storage-related standards will be fostered in 2000. The SSSC is driven by the urgent need for interoperable storage system softwar...
