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 2024 will be returning on its 50th anniversary to its new home at Santa Clara University, where it will be hosted by the School of Engineering, and held from June 3rd through June 7th, 2024
Registration is available here (the early-bird registration rates end after May 14th, 2024).
Directions to the venue and hotel information is available here.
The Research CFP (now closed for paper submissions) is archived here, and the poster CFP here.
MSST 2024 is possible thanks to sponsorship and support from SCU’s School of Engineering, and Hammerspace.
