PCI Express and Its Interface to Storage Architectures | SNIA

Abstract

PCI Express Gen2 and Gen3, IO Virtualization, FCoE, SSD, PCI Express Storage Devices are here. What are PCIe Storage Devices – why do you care? This session describes PCI Express, Single Root IO Virtualization and the implications on FCoE, SSD, PCIe Storage Devices and impacts of all these changes on storage connectivity, storage transfer rates. The potential implications to Storage Industry and Data Center Infrastructures will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives

Knowledge of PCI Express Architecture, PCI Express Roadmap, System Root Complexes and IO Virtualization.
Expected Industry Roll Out of latest IO Technologies and required Root Complex capabilities.
Implications and Impacts of FCoE, SSD and PCIe Storage Devices to Storage Connectivity. What does this look like to the Data Center?
IO Virtualization connectivity possibilities in the Data Center (via PCI Express).
