NVMe powers SSDs in the enterprise
With the emergence of non-volatile memory express (NVMe), a scalable host controller interface specifically developed for PCIe SSDs, and a supporting ecosystem plus dedicated devices such as NVMe programmable flash controller chips, the potential of PCIe SSDs for enterprise computing applications can be fully realized.
Controller Memory Buffer (CMB): NVMe 2.0’s On-Controller Memory Feature
Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) has become the dominant interface protocol for high-performance storage devices. As workloads demand ever-lower latencies, the NVMe specification has evolved with features that reduce data-path overhead. One such feature is the Controller Memory Buffer (CMB), which exposes on-controller memory directly to the host system.
