Meet us at MSST Conference 2026
Connect with the Leil team at the International Conference on Massive Storage Systems and Technology 2026.
Every generation of data infrastructure hits a ceiling – where capacity growth outpaces the architectures designed to manage it. Today, that ceiling is defined by exabytes of data that traditional storage stacks were never built to absorb.
This year, at Santa Clara University, the conference returns in full format with five days spanning practitioner-led sessions, peer-reviewed research, and the 70th birthday celebration of RAMAC – the system that started it all.
Leil on Stage: Scaling 30TB+ SMR –
SAS4 Performance Gains and HAMR-SMR vs. ePMR-SMR
David Gerstein, CTO and Co-Founder of Leil, takes the stage on Day 1, June 1st @1:00 PM to present a deep dive into what it takes to build a filesystem that speaks the native language of modern high-capacity drives.
If you are designing scalable, efficient infrastructure for the next generation of AI and data workloads, this is where the conversation becomes practical.
Connect with us during the conference to discuss HDD-Native architecture, SMR adoption strategies, and how Leil OS and Leil FS are enabling petabyte-to-exabyte scale without vendor lock-in.
