PCI Express and Its Interfaces to Flash Storage Architectures | SNIA

Abstract

There are a variety of ways to connect Storage to a System. All of them go through PCI Express. What are the options and benefits and shortfalls to these options to the system? Connecting Flash devices to the PCI Express, IO Virtualization are here. What are PCIe Storage Devices – why do you care? This session describes PCI Express, Single Root IO Virtualization and the implications on Flash Storage Devices and impacts of all these changes on storage connectivity, storage transfer rates. This tutorial will provide the attendee with:

Learning Objectives

PCI Express Architecture discussion
Types of Flash Connectivity available
Implications and Impacts of Flash and PCIe Storage Devices to Storage Connectivity.
IO Virtualization connectivity possibilities in the Data Center (via PCI Express).
What comes after this – who knows?
