Foundational software for modern hardware

Rethinking infrastructure for modern computing.

::openstd builds high-performance systems software from first principles, designed for modern hardware. Our first product, OpenKache, is a high-performance cache server designed for modern SSDs.

Our product

OpenKache

High-performance cache server designed for modern SSDs.

OpenKache rethinks caching around today's storage hardware: a DRAM-resident index, NVMe-backed data, and an architecture designed to scale across CPU cores with minimal sharing.

Early local measurements; not a production benchmark.

High-performance caching

Low-latency, high-throughput systems design.

NVMe-first architecture

Built around modern storage, not yesterday's assumptions.

Built in Rust

Designed for performance, safety, and long-term reliability.

Lower infrastructure cost

Use inexpensive storage capacity where DRAM would otherwise dominate cost.

Our belief

The next decade of computing needs a new foundation.

Computing hardware has evolved dramatically, but much of the infrastructure stack still carries decades-old assumptions. At ::openstd, we rethink foundational systems from first principles, designing for modern hardware to make software faster, simpler, and substantially more efficient.

Our company

A small team working on hard problems.

::openstd, Inc. is a technology company incorporated in Delaware, building next-generation systems software for a global market. Our engineering office is in Seoul, Korea.
