NVMe over Fabrics: High-performance SSDs networked over ethernet

Rob Davis, VP Storage Technology, Mellanox and Illker Cebeli, Sr. Director of Product Planning, Samsung, share in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.
There is a new very high performance SSD interfaced called NVMe over Fabrics now available to expand the capabilities of Red Hat networked storage solutions. It is an extension of the local NVMe SSD interface developed a few years ago driven by the need for a faster storage interface to SSDs. This was needed to allow applications to take advantage of the much higher performance of solid state vs. hard drives. NVMe over Fabrics, utilizes ultra-low latency RDMA technology to achieve data sharing across a network without sacrificing the local performance characteristics of NVMe SSDs. This session will explain the technology, what its capabilities are, where it is today, where it is going tomorrow and how to interface it into Red Hat solutions.
