NVMe over Fabrics
Find the latest news and advice for using NVMe over Fabrics, which lets you network non-volatile memory express (NVMe) drives over Fibre Channel or by using RDMA over converged Ethernet or InfiniBand. NVMe over Fabrics enables the use of alternate transports to PCIe to extend the distance over which an NVMe host device and an NVMe storage drive or subsystem can connect.
