Kioxia KumoScale Storage Software With NVMe-oF V3.11 Added to UNH-IOL Official Integrator List

Kioxia America, Inc. (formerly Toshiba Memory America, Inc.), the U.S.-based subsidiary of Kioxia Corporation, announced that its KumoScale storage software with NVMe-oF v3.11 has been added to the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory‘s (UNH-IOL) official integrator’s List.

In order to be considered for inclusion on the list, technologies must undergo conformance testing performed by the UNH-IOL through laboratory tests or during an NVMe plugfest. Completion of this testing provides a level of assurance that the product being tested will function in NVMe-oF environments.

Developed with a focus on virtualizing, managing and securing data, the KumoScale software suite provides a feature storage abstraction for containers and VMs. It delivers secure flash access, API access to orchestration frameworks, among other capabilities, and takes advantage of the performance characteristics of NVMe SSDs.

It was the first storage software technology to be granted NVMe-oF certification by the UNH-IOL, and Kioxia America continues to submit  releases of the software suite for certification.

“Ensuring the interoperability of technologies with the NVMe standards is at the heart of what we do,” noted David Woolf, senior engineer, datacenter technologies, UNH-IOL. “KumoScale block storage software was the first of its kind to be listed on the NVMe-oF Integrator’s List back in 2017. We commend Kioxia for their continued software innovations and for making NVMe-oF more deployable in cloud data centers.“

“As our customers transition their data center infrastructures from DAS-based storage to disaggregated, shared-storage models, they need to ensure that they are building around standards-compliant products,” noted Joel Dedrick, VP and GM, networked storage software, Kioxia America “The UNH-IOL’s Integrator’s List is an excellent resource. Successfully completing the rigorous testing processes brings our customers peace of mind that our KumoScale software suite will support their NVMe-oF integrations.“
