NVMe over Fabrics Demystified

The new NVMe SSD interfaced can be connected across a Fabric. In fact it can be connected across lots of different fabrics: Ethernet (3 approaches), Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, and PCIe to date. Data Centers want to share storage readily among multiple compute nodes and be able to perform clustering, failover, and other system-wide operations at NVMe SSD speeds. NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) is the solution. This talk will describe the technology in its many forms. Describe use cases, for both Enterprise and cloud, where it is being applied. Then finish with potential future directions it is heading.
