The Linux Foundation has announced the introduction of the Software Enabled Flash (SEF) Software Development Kit (SDK), marking an important advancement in the field of storage technology. KIOXIA, a significant backer of the Software-Enabled Flash project, has donated the SDK.
The release of the KIOXIA hardware and SDK might be a game-changer for developers looking for unmatched access to the imaginative possibilities of flash storage applications.
With KIOXIA’s ground-breaking donation of the software-defined flash native SDK, the SEF project is now welcoming developers with unique capabilities to create distinctive and unique software for flash storage applications. This strategic action is in line with the goal of the SEF project, which is to encourage innovation and teamwork among open source enthusiasts.
Innovative Uses of Flash for Storage Applications
The SEF project SDK, which gives data center storage developers access to sample code and the capacity to fully use flash media management, is included with the donated hardware. This dynamic and flexible software-defined approach to flash offers future features like as WAF reduction, latency management, support for different protocols like ZNS and FDP, or Block.
“We are really excited to have reached this goal and made the Software-Enabled Flash project's software development kit available,” said Eric Ries, Senior Vice President of KIOXIA America’s Memory & Storage Strategy Division. “This release now opens the way to new and innovative uses of flash for storage applications that leverage the creativity and inventiveness of the users, developers, and the open-source communities.”
Developers may easily get the SEF SDK, the API, and the command specifications from the SEF GitHub (R). Developers visiting www.softwareenabledflash.org may discover tutorials, documentation, and extensive information on the SEF project.
