NVMe over Fabrics Boot Standardization and Implementation
Watch a 13-minute conference presentation from SNIA SDC'22 exploring the development of standardized NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) boot capabilities. Learn about the critical need for network-based OS booting in large deployments, similar to existing Fibre Channel and iSCSI solutions. Discover the proposed standardized NVMe-oF Boot ecosystem, including UEFI Pre-OS driver implementations and Linux NVMe/TCP boot enablement. Dell's Doug Farley and NVIDIA's Rob Davis detail the ecosystem artifacts required for standardization, reference implementations, and ongoing work to remove this barrier to NVMe-oF adoption. Gain insights into the NVMe 2.0 family of specifications and understand how industry cooperation is driving the development of this essential storage networking capability.
