NVMe Deep Dive, the 8th of February 2022
NVMe Deep Dive Training, 8th of February 2022, from 10 AM to 11 AM CET
The NVMe specification was designed from the ground up for SSDs. It is a much more efficient interface, providing lower latency, and is more scalable for SSDs than legacy interfaces, like serial ATA (SATA).
The reason it’s important to read the fine print is that in most cases, less than 20% of the potential speed boost of NVMe comes from using back-end NVMe media, with 80% or more of the benefit coming from using NVMe-oF to replace SCSI-based front-end data transfer protocols. Some data center marketing blogs are actually pure baloney, so always ascertain whether the storage system in question is actually running NVMe-oF rather than just back-end NVMe flash media.
Agenda:
- What is NVMe and why is it important?
- What is NVMe-oF?
- Why infrastructure matters?
- NVMe/FC
- RDMA
- NVMe/TCP
- Discussion
