Abstract
The Kinetic Open Storage platform reduce the inefficiencies of traditional datacenters whose legacy architectures are not well-adapted to highly distributed and capacity-optimized workloads. Kinetic Open Storage platform is a new class of key/value Ethernet drives + an open API and series of libraries designed to provide the simplest semantic abstraction and enable applications through an easy-to-use, minimalist API that allows the application direct access to the storage. Learning Objectives Understand Key/Value Storage Understand the value to applications Understand the requirements that a key/value system provides on an infrastructure
