You've heard of lots of kinds of storage solutions, from external hard drives to a NAS. However, what you may not have heard of was NVMe over TCP, a way to use the NVMe protocol over a network.

How will NVMe flash affect storage area networking, in particular with the introduction of NVMe-over-fabrics? Storage area networks (SANs) and shared storage have been in the enterprise datacentre for ...

Replacing hard disk drives with NAND flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) dramatically improved I/O performance, even over top of the line 15,000 RPM enterprise drives. Access times dropped from 6-12 ...

“The NVMe Management Interface is an important part of delivering a robust solid-state drive solution for Datacenter environments,” said Amber Huffman, President of NVM Express, Inc. “Protocol tools ...

The history of storage devices is quite literally a race between the medium and the computing power as the bottleneck of preserving billions of ones and zeros stands in the way of computing nirvana.

NVMe (non-volatile memory express) is shaking up the enterprise storage industry. A communications protocol developed specifically for all-flash storage, NVMe enables faster performance and greater ...

While NVMe has brought super-fast flash storage access speeds to storage media, NVMe-over-fabrics extends it to wider deployments in the datacentre. NVMe-over-fabrics, which is in the nascent stages ...

Soon after data centers began transitioning from hard drives to solid-state drives (SSD), the NVMe protocol arrived to support high-performance, direct-attached PCIe SSDs. NVMe was followed by NVMe ...

Our previous post on NVMe was an overview of the NVMe protocol. We will now start looking closer at the VIP-proper, looking initially at the NVMe Host Protocol layers. This will provide an ...
