NVMe: The NVMe, NVMe over TCP, and the Evolution Overview

Nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) has gained incredible adoption as a low-latency interface for connecting host systems with SSDs. A complementary specification, NVMe over fabrics (NVMeoF) defines the attachment of that same NVM storage media over a fabric with microsecond-level latency. NVMe/TCP has a few key advantages. First, TCP is a well-known protocol. Network engineers understand its behavior very well, and know how to use it. From that perspective, the ‘learning curve’ of enabling NVMe/TCP in the datacenter is shorter and smoother. Learn more about the evolution of NVMe transports and more in this quick overview video.
