Flash Memory Summit (FMS), the flash memory conference and exposition, announced that International Data Corporation has partnered with its Virtual FMS for the 2020 online conference.

FMS will be held as a virtual event on November 10-12, 2020.

IDC’s senior team of analysts will be participating at the Virtual FMS event presenting industry insights on how flash memory is revolutionizing the future of cloud and enterprise storage. The team will cover the entire ecosystem around flash memory including solid state storage, NVMe-based AFAs, and other enabling high-speed storage solutions. The IDC team will also be sharing a sneak peek into some of the leading predictions from its IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Cloud 2021 Predictions.

We are pleased to be associated with this important conference.”

Attendees can view IDC presentations on trends in storage technologies that address the edge, core, and cloud as customers plan their enterprise IT infrastructure. Analysts will host live chats to answer questions on current storage and high-speed memory technologies.

Featured session presentations will focus on:
