Marvell unveils NVMe-oF SSD converter controller

摘要

Marvell has announced the industry's first NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF) SSD converter controller, the 88SN2400, for cloud and enterprise data centres.The 88SN2400 controller has been designed to convert an NVMe SSD into an NVMe-oF SSD, providing what the company calls a 'revolutionary architecture' that will increase the utilisation and scalability of SSDs within the data centre and that will help to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO).By bringing low latency access over the fabric and exposing the entire SSD bandwidth to the network, the controller supports scalable, high-performance disaggregation of storage from compute. The 88SN2400 uses a simple, low-power and compute-less Ethernet fabric instead of a traditional PCIe fabric controlled and managed by an enterprise-class server SoC with integrated 100GE controllers.
