QLogic Demonstrated Array of NVMe over Fabrics Technologies
Delivering reduced latency and CPU utilization for flash-based storage
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on August 25, 2016 at 3:11 pmQLogic Corporation has announced multiple NVM Express (NVMe) demonstrations showcased at Intel Developers Forum 2016.
The company is further underscoring its NVMe ecosystem leadership by demonstrating a broad set of NVMe flash storage optimization technologies. The NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) focused demonstrations deliver customer choice in fabrics and reduce latency and CPU utilization for the growing flash-based storage market.
The three demonstrations this week at IDF include:
-
NVMe over Fabrics with FC – running on firm’s Gen 6 (32Gb) FC adapters, the demonstration shows how NVMe-oF using FC extends the reliability, availability and performance of existing FC investments for next-generation storage and reduces overall latency on FC networks.
-
NVMe over Fabrics with Ethernet – showcasing the benefits of company’s latest FastLinQ 25Gb Ethernet (25GbE) adapters with RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), the NVMe-oF using Ethernet demonstration leverages the Cavium XPliant 3.2Tb protocol independent Ethernet switch and extends NVMe over a large-scale Ethernet-based network using the efficiency and performance of RDMA, while lowering overall latency on Ethernet networks.
-
NVMe Direct – leveraging firm’s FastLinQ 45000 Series controllers, the NVMe Direct demonstration enables high efficiency and high-performance peer-to-peer interactions between company’s 25GbE RDMA NICs and NVMe flash storage, lowering CPU utilization and increasing IO/s.
