S3's HTTP/TCP foundation was never designed for microsecond latencies or the hundreds of gigabytes per second that modern GPU clusters demand, and as accelerators sit idle waiting on data, that decades-old tradeoff is finally being challenged.This talk surveys the fast-emerging landscape of S3-compatible access over RDMA transports: how an HTTP-native protocol is being re-architected for kernel-bypass, zero-copy networking without breaking the S3 API that AI teams already depend on. We'll unpack the common design pattern taking shape across the industry — keeping S3 metadata and control operations on HTTP/TCP while moving object payloads directly over RDMA into GPU memory — and what it means for throughput, latency, and CPU efficiency at scale.We'll then look at how vendors and open-standards efforts (including NVIDIA's RDMA for S3-compatible storage and a growing set of storage platforms) are converging on interoperable approaches, the hard problems that remain around standardization and multi-tenancy, and where S3-over-RDMA is headed as object storage steps up to become a first-class, high-performance tier for AI training and inference.Followed by SNIA Tech Talk on "Accelerated Object Storage for AI/ML" by Chetan Somaiah, Technical Staff, Dell TechnologiesAbstract AI innovation is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, creating new pressure on how object storage delivers data to high‑performance compute and GPU environments. To meet these demands, the industry is increasingly turning to RDMA-based approaches that dramatically reduce latency and boost throughput for object storage workloads. The SNIA Accelerated Object I/O Technical Working Group was formed to define interoperable specifications for this emerging class of high‑speed object access. In this session, we will share a vendor perspective on what’s driving these changes, the technical and ecosystem challenges ahead, and how SNIA aims to shape the standards and accelerate industry adoption.Meetup Agenda:2.30 to 3:00 pm Welcome /Registration3:00 to 3:15 pm Welcome Address from Everpure by Samir Jain, Director, FlashBlade, Everpure3:15 to 3:30 pm SNIA Introduction by SNIA Board Member3.30 to 4.15pm Breaking the HTTP Barrier: S3 Object Storage at RDMA Speed for the AI Era by Jayapaul Paul, Lead Architect, Everpure (formerly Pure Storage)4:15 to 5:00 pm SNIA Talk on by "Accelerated Object Storage for AI/ML" by Chetan Somaiah, Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, Office of the CTO | Data Management, AI & Storage Systems, Dell Technologies5:00 to 5:15 pm Vote of Thanks5:10 pm onwards Hi-Tea & NetworkingSpeakers:Jayapaul Paul — Lead Architect, EverpureJayapaul Paul is a Lead Architect at Everpure (formerly Pure Storage), based in Bangalore at the company's India headquarters. His work centers on the technologies powering high-performance AI and data infrastructure — GPU Direct Storage, NFS-over-RDMA, KV cache, multitenancy, and observability — with a focus on delivering high throughput, low latency, and cost efficiency at exascale.Jayapaul brings more than two decades of systems and storage engineering experience. Before Everpure, he held progressively senior software engineering roles at Nutanix, EMC — where he developed microcode for the Symmetrix range of enterprise storage — and NXP Semiconductors. This deep background across semiconductors, enterprise storage, and hyperconverged infrastructure informs his architectural approach to modern data-path design.A frequent voice on AI infrastructure, Jayapaul has spoken at industry forums including Nasscom's Tech Developer Confluence, where he presented "Breaking Bottlenecks in AI: RDMA, KV Cache, and Direct Data Paths at Scale." He holds an MTech in Computer Science from BITS Pilani.Chetan Somaiah - Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, Office of the CTO | Data Management, AI & Storage Systems, Dell TechnologiesChetan Somaiah, Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in the ISG(Infrastructure Solutions Group) Chief Technology Office, is a passionate technology leader with extensive experience in digital transformation and innovative solution development.
