Open Source Summit North America 2018

The exponential growth in data is not only fueling new Big Data and Fast Data applications, it is also creating complexities in the way that data is being captured, preserved, accessed and transformed. 
 
New NVMe™ over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) devices will soon be available from multiple vendors. These new fabric devices will require additional management procedures above and beyond what has been historically used.
 
The OpenFlex™ architecture disaggregates flash and disk, compute and network resources into independent, scalable pools that can be connected via common networking technologies, such as Ethernet. The open Kingfish™ API enables these pools to be presented as software composable infrastructure that can be quickly and easily orchestrated to precisely address the needs of complex and dynamic applications and data workflows.  Various KingFish™ tools will also be contributed to open-source.
