NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) designed to efficiently support hyperscale remote SSDs, has become the default protocol for disaggregated storage within a cloud infrastructure. Multiple network transports are supported by NVMe-oF - iWARP RDMA, RoCE v2, Fibre Channel and TCP/IP.
The enterprises want to deploy the most cost-effective and efficient networking transport available to maximize their return on investment (ROI). TCP/IP (NVMe/TCP) meets these requirements with its lower deployment costs, reduced design complexity and its ability to use the existing infrastructure.
Chelsio's state-of-the-art TOE (TCP/IP Offload Engine) is fully capable of offloading TCP/IP processing to the NIC (NVMe/TOE), including connection set-up and tear-down, and all the exception handling thus, freeing up the CPU resources.
The freed-up CPU resources can be utilized to run software defined storage and application software. In addition to CPU savings, T6 Unified Wire adapters with NVMe/TCP Offload increase bandwidth and IOPs while reducing application sensitivity to packet drops and jitter on the wire.
SDC 2021Chelsio showcased its 100G storage technologies, NVMe/TCP, NVMe-oF (iWARP) and iSCSI at Storage Developer Conference (SDC) 2021, empowering High-ROI, highly effective application deployments. Chelsio and StorageIO presented a Birds of a Feather (BoF) Session discussing the challenges, issues and key priorities for legacy and software defined datacenter environments and how NVMe/TCP using Chelsio Offload addresses them. Chelsio announced performance testing results of 100GbE NVMe/TCP using T6 TOE solution in Kernel and User Modes, showing unparalleled performance and CPU efficiency. This allows businesses to migrate to industry-standard networking, attain enormous scale, remove any vendor lock-in, and support full security for data-at-rest and in-motion. StorageIO has additionally reviewed and validated the Chelsio results and published a detailed article explaining how the T6 TOE enabled solution boosts storage performance while reducing host CPU usage. The key advantages that NVMe/TOE solution provides are:
Above and beyond what regular NIC's are targeted for, T6 is ideally suited for below applications:
