The RoCE Initiative is committed to increasing RDMA awareness among system architects and IT managers that design, deploy and operate Ethernet-based data centers. A pillar of our educational program is the Resource Library, which contains a growing list of RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) whitepapers as well as a glossary of relevant industry terms associated with the technology. Experts from InfiniBand Trade [...]
NVM Express (NVMe) technology is quickly being recognized as an innovative, high performance interface for solid-state drives (SSDs) as well as newer persistent memory solutions. NVM Express, Inc.developed the standard to define a new storage interface protocol that optimized non-volatile memory storage system performance, namely in PCIe-based SSDs. At its core, NVMe helps eliminate the data throughput and latency bottlenecks within [...]
There are two industry trends that we need to keep an eye on. First, the demand for faster data transfers continues to grow, and second, more reliance is being placed on cloud storage. Data center architects are constantly looking for ways to innovate and to implement solutions that address both of these trends. Serving as the counterpart to hardware-based RDMA [...]
