SANDISK HAS ANNOUNCED a series of open source projects for the Ceph platform based around its flash products. <\/p>\n

The company plans to make a series of optimisations to Ceph's software-defined storage, allowing object, block and file storage to be presented as a single distributed computer cluster. <\/p>\n

The news follows the company's announcement of the Ceph-powered scale-out flash array InfiniFlash last week as a half terabyte 1U flash array designed with cold-to-tepid storage use in mind, managed through RESTful API, Swift and S3 API. <\/p>\n

The INQUIRER'sanalysis of InfiniFlash pointed out its green advantages as an upcycled, low energy, low footprint product. <\/p>\n

Nithya Ruff, director of the SanDisk Open Source Strategy Office, said: \"Open source software is a critical building block for many of the key markets in which we operate, from mobile and embedded, to enterprise, hyperscale and cloud. <\/p>\n

\"Since joining the Linux Foundation, SanDisk has built a sizeable development team to enhance and optimise open source platforms to be 'flash-intelligent,' resulting in better performance, efficiencies, capacities and overall total cost of ownership for customers. <\/p>\n

\"SanDisk is one of the largest contributors to the Ceph software platform and will continue to work on further OSS innovations in partnership with the community. <\/p>\n

SanDisk has been working with Ceph on its aims to be distributed without a single failure point, with exabyte scalability and high availability. So far, SanDisk's efforts have resulted in a 10x improvement for block reads and a 2x improvement in object read flows when Ceph is used in a flash environment. <\/p>\n

This is the latest addition to SanDisk's open source contribution portfolio which includes flash optimisations for Android stack, Linux Kernel, Android Real Path Storage, SCST and enterprise applications including Cassandra, MySQL and Hadoop. <\/p>\n

All these contributions are aimed at improving the usability of flash storage in the respective environments. <\/p>\n
