NVM Express over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) is the concept of using a transport protocol over a network to connect remote NVMe devices, contrary to regular NVMe where physical NVMe devices are connected to a PCIe bus either directly or over a PCIe switch to a PCIe bus.
NVMe over Fabrics refers to the ability to utilize NVMe protocol over existing network infrastructure like Ethernet (Converged or traditional), TCP, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand for transport (as opposite to run NVMe over PCI). NVMe is SAN block level data storage protocol.
A community of developers from hardware manufacturers, software vendors, system integrators, government agencies and academia continue to work on OFED. The OpenFabrics Alliance provides architectures, software repositories, interoperability tests, bug databases, workshops, and BSD- and GPL-licensed code to facilitate development.
NVMe-oF: an equivalent mechanism, exposing block devices as NVMe namespaces over TCP, Fibre Channel, RDMA, &c., native to most operating systems; Loop device: a similar mechanism, but uses a local file instead of a remote one; DRBD: Distributed Replicated Block Device is a distributed storage system for the Linux platform
EDSFF provides a pure NVMe over PCIe interface. One common way to provide EDSFF connections on the motherboard is through MCIO connectors. EDSFF SSDs come in four form factors: E1.L (Long) and E1.S (Short), which fit vertically in a 1u server, and E3.L and E3.S, which fit vertically in a 2u server. [2]
GL_Port (Generic Fabric Loop port) Switch port that may function either as an E_Port, A_Port, or as an Fx_Port. [ 14 ] PE_Port LCF within the Fabric that attaches to another PE_Port or to a B_Port through a link.
U.3 (SFF-TA-1001) is built on the U.2 spec and uses the same SFF-8639 connector. A single "tri-mode" (PCIe/SATA/SAS) backplane receptacle can handle all three types of connections; the controller automatically detects the type of connection used. This is unlike U.2, where users need to use separate controllers for SATA/SAS and NVMe.
NVM Express (NVMe): A modern interface designed specifically for SSDs, NVMe takes full advantage of the parallelism in SSDs, providing significantly lower latency and higher throughput than AHCI.
