Kamal Bakshi, Principal Engineer, introduces Cisco's NVMe storage transport solutions. He begins with a review of the history of storage transport, from FC-SCSI to iSCSI to FCoE, and discusses how flash storage is affected by these protocols. NVMe gives greater performance than SAS, and next-generation SANs will consist of an NVMe fabric using FC, InfiniBand, RoCE, or TCP. Cisco supports all modern storage transports, on the MDS and Nexus 9000 switches, as enterprises adopt end-to-end NVMe storage. Bakshi then discusses the emerging NVMe-FC fabric. The MDS Fibre Channel director features a crossbar architecture that is highly scalable and supports 64G FC on the same chassis. Enterprises can deploy NVMe storage anywhere using this Cisco network fabric. Bakshi also takes questions from the Storage Field Day delegates.
