One Line Summary

Support for Open-Channel SSDs - Ongoing progress

Abstract

Support for Open-Channel SSDs is an open-source initiative to push management of SSDs into the host. The initiative enables application-driver storage, where applications directly integrate with the underlying storage and its characteristics. Leading to improvements in storage utilization, predictability and latency. We’ll outline the current roadmap, missing pieces before going upstream, and upcoming vendors and applications supporting the framework.
