SPLIT NVME SSD IMPLEMENTATION USING NVME OVER FABRICS PROTOCOL

摘要

One implementation of an NVMe storage system uses NVMe over Fabric (NVMf) SSDs. This implementation is built using off-the-shelf RDMA Network Interface Cards (RNIC) to connect the server to the network and then to the NVMf SSDs. The current document discloses a split implementation with the PCI Express/NVMe interface on an NVMe Initiator board plugged into a server and the Flash implemented on one or many network attached Flash (NVMf) devices.
