Since the Enterprise and Datacenter Standard Form Factor (EDSFF) was created, the biggest complaint about EDSFF has been that there are too many form factors. While this was by design, EDSFF still has more form factors than what was supported previously in Enterprise and Datacenter application. So introducing E2 as a new EDSFF form factor in the market is obviously going to get a lot of scrutiny. The goal of this presentation is to discuss the motivation behind creating the EDSFF E2 form factor, why existing form factors could not meet this need, why the EDSFF E2 form factor ended up with the specific dimensions, and what do future applications look like.
