MSST 2026 will be held at Santa Clara University, and offer a full week (June 1-5) dedicated to storage technology through both its invited (June 1-3) and research (June 4-5) tracks.

 

The MSST invited track, with its focus on practitioners will offer a tutorial day and two days of invited speakers, while the MSST research track will end the conference with a forum for top-quality peer-reviewed storage research. With its return to its full format, MSST will continue to provide a place where academic researchers and industry practitioners can share findings and challenges in storage technology, and we encourage you to attend all tracks.

 

The first day (June 1st) will feature tutorials on access control in the context of AI, and long-term data storage, followed by the industry track (June 2-3rd) featuring  practitioners  speaking on a range of topics including Open Flash platform directions, shared/computational/tiered memory solutions and contexts, and will include a celebration for the 70th birthday of RAMAC (which we mark this year). The call for papers for the research track (June 4-5) can be found here, and is actively accepting submissions for review.

 

Since the conference was founded, in 1974, by the leading national laboratories, MSST (the International Conference on Massive Storage Systems and Technology) has been a venue for massive-scale storage system designers and implementers, storage architects, researchers, and vendors to share best practices and discuss building and securing the world’s largest storage systems for high-performance computing, web-scale systems, and enterprises.

 

MSST 2025, and MSST 2024, were made possible thanks to sponsorship and support from SCU’s School of Engineering, and Hammerspace.
