SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
SPDK and Infrastructure Offload
Abstract
Infrastructure offload based around NVMe-oF can deliver performance of direct attached storage with the benefits and composability of shared storage. Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) is a set of drivers and libraries uniquely positioned to demonstrate how projects like Infrastructure Programmer Development Kit (IPDK) can provide vendor agnostic high performance and scalable framework. This session will discuss how the SPDK NVMe-oF target has evolved to enable infrastructure offload.
Learning Objectives
- Understand what Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU) is and interaction between its storage components
- Understand how NVMe-oF transports can implement device specific interaction to emulate NVMe devices
- Understand how infrastructure offload impacts orchestration using Live migration as an example
