Data are the life-blood of computing and the main asset of any organization. Therefore, disk I/O and data storage on which data reside are becoming “first class citizens” in today's information world. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss cutting edge research on parallel and distributed data storage technologies. By discussing ongoing research, the workshop will expose participants to the most recent developments in storage network architectures and parallel I/O. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Networked Storage Manageability, Reliability, and Availability
• Networked Storage Performance and Scalability
• File systems, Object-based storage, Block-level storage
• NAS and SAN architectures
• Storage networking: e.g. Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, IP Storage, iSCSI
• Parallel I/O architectures
• Caching and consistency
• Evaluation of networked storage architectures
• Storage management software
• Distributed metadata management
