FD.io is an open source project to provide an IO services framework for the next wave of network and storage software.Architected as a collection of sub-projects, FD.io provides a modular, extensible user space IO services framework that supports rapid development of high-throughput, low-latency and resource-efficient IO services. The design of FD.io is hardware, kernel, and deployment (bare metal, VM, container) agnostic. FD.io will help advance the state of the art of network and storage infrastructure and will quickly become a “must have” technology in next-gen service provider and enterprise Data center strategies as its benefits to areas like SDN and NFV are realized. In this session you will get an introduction to the technology under FD.io, it governance, and community structure.
