Paper Title: What's New in NVMe Technology: Ratified Technical Proposals

Paper Abstract: To facilitate the development of the refactored NVMe 2.0 family of specifications, the public release of several NVMe, NVMe-oF, and NVMe-MI technical proposals (TPs) were delayed but were recently published publicly. In this presentation, attendees will learn about those new TP's contained in the NVMe 2.0 specifications and new TP's not contained in the NVMe 2.0 specifications since its publishing. Included in the presentation is Domains and Partitions, Copy Command, Protection Information Enhancement, Disperse Namespaces, Centralized Discovery Controllers, Zone Random Write Area and more. Join us to find out how these new features will aid NVMe technology development and propel us into the future of storage.
