Storage Developer Conference

NVMe is gaining momentum as the standard high performance disk interface that eliminates various bottlenecks in accessing PCIe SSD devices. NVMe over Fabrics extends NVMe beyond the confines of a PCIe fabric by utilizing a low latency network interconnect such as iWARP RDMA/Ethernet to attach NVMe devices. iWARP is unique in its scalability and reach, practically eliminating constraints on the architecture, size and distance of a storage network. This talk presents Chelsio’s open-source generic block device based implementation and benchmark results that illustrate the benefits in performance and efficiency of the new fabric, opening the way to unprecedented storage performance and scale.
