SESSION SPEAKER

How Zoned Namespaces (ZNS) Improve SSD Lifetime, Throughput, and Latency

Nov 11, 2020 | 8:35am

Cloud architects will learn how to improve SSD total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) and address Latency/QoS performance at scale with ZNS SSDs. Learn the benefits of ZNS SSDs over conventional SSDs, how to leverage the ZNS command set, and real-world examples with respect to the software ecosystem.

SESSION SPEAKER

Evolution of Ethernet attached NVMe-oF Devices and Platforms

Nov 11, 2020 | 2:15 PM

Ethernet-attached NVMe-oF™ disaggregated storage systems aim to address workload agility and improve infrastructure efficiency. Join this discussion to review Ethernet-based protocols – RoCE, iWARP, TCP – for disaggregated storage systems and the requirements for successful and wide deployments of these types of systems.
