<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Interested in learning more about SPDK? Want to learn how it can help accelerate your storage solutions? Attend the SPDK summit and discover the SPDK experience. SPDK is based off
of DPDK and implements User space, lockless, polled-mode libraries to accelerate storage solution. It helps minimize average and tail latencies and helps extracts millions of IOPS per core. Its specifically designed for non-volatile media and like DPDK its
open source and BSD licensed. For more info, please visit <a href="http://SPDK.io">
