Datalight Joins JEDEC
Datalight announced today that it has joined JEDEC, the semiconductor industry’s top engineering trade organization and standardization body. The organization brings together a wide range of companies worldwide, including key technical experts from most device, assembly, system and testing companies, which enables JEDEC to set widely adopted standards for product interoperability. As a maker of high-performance file systems and flash memory management software, Datalight offers a perspective unique among JEDEC members.
JEDEC’s over 300 manufacturers and suppliers participate in more than 50 committees and subcommittees, with the mission to create standards to meet the diverse technical and developmental needs of the industry. JEDEC publications and standards are accepted throughout the world, and are free and open to all, benefitting the industry and ultimately consumers by decreasing time-to-market and reducing product development costs.
“We are honored to serve as JEDEC members,” said Datalight CEO Roy Sherrill. “Membership in JEDEC will allow Datalight to support emerging technologies sooner while continuing to provide software that offers the broadest hardware support in the industry.”
