Learn about NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) discovery automation in this technical webinar that explores the implementation and benefits of using a Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) for IP-based fabrics. Dive into the collaborative efforts between Dell and HPE experts to enhance discovery processes, covering topics from manual versus automated discovery to NVMe fabric zoning implementation. Master the terminology, deployment types, and scaling considerations while understanding how CDC aggregates discovery information and connectivity constraints across hosts and subsystems. Explore practical use cases, zoning database structures, zone groups, and MDNS autodiscovery mechanisms. Gain insights into both hard and soft zoning approaches, DAC requirements, and how these enhancements streamline data center operations from edge to core deployments.
