Managing NVMe-oF Ethernet-Attached Drives with Swordfish Standards

Learn how to effectively manage NVMe over ethernet drives through a comprehensive technical presentation that explores Swordfish's standardized model for NVMe ethernet-attached drives. Dive into detailed implementation profiles, covering required and recommended properties, while discovering new features that support the latest Native NVMe-oF™ Drive Specification. Explore the evolution of storage networks, understand the role of Ethernet in storage networking, and examine current NVMe-oF storage targets. Gain insights into use cases including behind-the-controller scenarios and disaggregated SSD storage, while understanding how JBOF CPU/NIC complexes can create bottlenecks. Master the SNIA Native NVMe-oF Drive Specification, learn how various standards work together, and understand the eSSD instance view. Discover who develops Redfish and Swordfish standards, and examine the NVMe subsystem model in the context of eSSD use cases. The presentation, delivered by Mark Carlson from Kioxia, also covers the Swordfish CTP program and its benefits to the storage development community.
