FC-NVMe - SNIA on Data, Networking & Storage

At our recent SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) webcast, Notable Updates in NVMe-oF™ 1.1we explored the latest features of NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF), discussing what’s new in the NVMe-oF 1.1 release, support for CMB and PMR, managing and provisioning NVMe-oF devices with SNIA Swordfish™, and FC-NVMe-2. If you missed the live event, you can watch it here. Our presenters received many interesting questions on NVMe-oF and here are answers to them all:

Q. Is there an implementation of NVMe-oF with direct CMB access?

A. The Controller Memory Buffer (CMB) was introduced in NVMe 1.2 and first supported in the NVMe-oF 1.0 specification. It’s supported if the storage vendor has implemented this within the hardware and the network supports it. We recommend that you ask your favorite vendor if they support the feature.

Q. What is the different between PMR in an NVMe device and the persistent memory in general?

Since its introduction, NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) has not been resting on any laurels. Work has been ongoing, and several updates are worth mentioning. And that’s exactly what the SNIA Networking Storage Forum will be doing on June 30^th, 2020 at our live webcast, Notable Updates in NVMe-oF 1.1.

There is more to a technology than its core standard, of course, and many different groups have been hard at work at improving upon, and fleshing out, many of the capabilities related to NVMe-oF. In this webcast, we will explore a few of these projects and how they relate to implementing the technology. In particular, this webcast will be covering:
