Configuration Guide for NVM Express* over Fabrics for Intel® Ethernet Products with RDMA
NVM Express* (NVMe*) drives are high-speed, low-latency solid-state drives (SSDs)that connect over the server Peripheral Component Interconnect Express* (PCIe*) bus.
The development of these high-performance drives has spurred new innovation in storage over networking protocols, which takes full advantage of the drive capabilities in data center and cloud environments.
NVMe over Fabrics provides networked storage at a l,atency level close to locally mounted storage through a re-architected storage protocol that combines the use of low-latency/high-efficiency fabric technologies such as Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) or Fibre Channel (FC) with these high-speed NVMe drives.
Intel supports NVMe over Fabrics on two Intel® Ethernet product lines with RDMA technology:
- Intel® Ethernet 800 Series
- Intel® Ethernet Connection X722/Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter X722
