SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
As NVIDIA’s Vice President of Storage Technology, Rob Davis focuses on ways to apply high-speed interface technology to storage systems. As technology leader and visionary for more than 35 years, he has been a key evaluator and decision maker for the development of storage networking products. He is currently leading the development and marketing of products based on NVMe over fabrics, which will allow for the high-speed networking of PCIe-based storage.
Soon you will be able to boot across a network with attached computers using NVME over Fabrics. This capability is often called Boot from SAN. Currently, successful storage networking technologies such as Fibre Channel and iSCSI have standardized solutions that allow attached computer systems to boot from OS images stored on attached storage notes. The lack of this capability in NVMe-oF architecture presents a barrier to adoption.
