NVMe/TCP Conquers The UNH-IOL Plugfest
January 17, 2019
Entering the New Hampshire University InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL) in November 2018, I was surrounded by servers, network cards, Ethernet cables hanging from the ceiling, and a lot of cool nerdy lab rats—like me. We were there to run the first-ever NVMe Over TCP (NVMe/TCP) plugfest.
This Proof of Concept (PoC) plugfest for the new NVMe/TCP protocol would bring together multiple vendors for the first time to validate their hardware and software implementations, specification compliance, and interoperability against each other....

A Storage Story: NVMe over Fabrics and Fibre Channel
April 30, 2018
The next quantum leap in storage technologies is driving the need for faster storage fabrics to transport this data surge. Such an acceleration in storage demand and solutions requires storage transports to provide better overall performance as well as the ability to guarantee Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Of course, the storage solution I’m speaking about Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) and its latest expansion into NVMe over Fabrics.
First some housekeeping. References to NVMe-oF and FC-NVMe are prevalent and cause...
Industry Outlook: NVMe and NVMe-oF For Storage
February 8, 2018
This week, Industry Outlook asks David Woolf, Senior Engineer of Datacenter Technologies at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), about NVMe and NVMe-oF and their role in storage and the data center. David has developed dozens of industry-reviewed test procedures and implementations as part of the team that has built the UNH-IOL into a world-class center for interoperability and conformance testing. He has also helped to organize numerous industry interoperability test events at both at the UNH-IOL facility...
UNH-IOL Offers NVMe-oF Testing, Software, List
January 8, 2018
The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab is now offering NVMe-oF testing services and related resources. This leading facility, based in Durham, is an NBASE-T member.
NVMe-oF stands for Non-Volatile Memory Express over Fabrics. This standard enables data centers to access flash and solid-state drives over Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks. That allows them to run applications using a much larger storage pool than is possible with NVMe alone.
But in announcing this news, UNH-IOL – which in...
