Paper Title: NVMe at Scale: A Radical New Approach to Improve Performance and Utilization

Paper Abstract: Explore how applications ranging from high-end native cloud to traditional enterprise can transform by making the right infrastructure choices that enable NVMe to scale, with minimum limitations. This session will introduce a radical new architecture for disaggregating compute and storage with simple building blocks. The modern Ethernet Bunch of Flash (EBOF) architecture combined with mature TCP and growing NVMe-oF adoption can improve utilization of compute and storage resources, and deliver performance at scale. Learn how new use cases from HPC to next gen HCI can leverage this new paradigm of accessible performance without completely re-architecting your data center.
