NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) News

TEWKSBURY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avery Design Systems, leader in functional verification solutions today announced the pre-silicon system simulation solution of NVMe TM SSD and PCIe® designs using QEMU virtual host to SystemVerilog PCIe VIP co-simulation thus enabling the functional validation of complete NVMe and PCIe hardware-software SoC designs using industry standard conformance and performance benchmarking software applications running in Linux and Windows® environments.

“Early HW-SW integration and verification accelerates the development schedule and reduces bug fix times and iterations dramatically,” said...

The wide adoption of Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over the last few years has completely revolutionized the storage industry in no small part due to lower prices and better performance. With the introduction of more features, such as management, more enterprises and hyperscale data centers are migrating to NVMe. The introduction of NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) promises to accelerate this trend for enterprises using a variety of infrastructures.

NVMe is architected with a layered approach, which enables NVMe data...

The non-volatile memory express (NVMe) storage controller interface continues extending into the data center, on the back of growing requirements for new levels of application performance acceleration. NVMe is typically deployed as direct-attach storage via a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface, which bypasses the latency overhead of storage networking but at the same time does not scale. NVMe-over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) is emerging to enable greater scalability with levels of latency that are closer to those of direct-attached storage. As...

Until a couple of years ago, the best way to test your storage hardware was by using a black box, but now there are more options. The new options are exclusively performed in software, courtesy of Calypso Systems, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), and maybe soon from the University of New Hampshire's InterOperability Laboratory.

Load-testing software isn't new, but it generally works by running sample data through your network. In the Calypso system, released as a specification via...
