Quantum F2000 User's Guide
At a high-level, NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a
communications standard/protocol developed specially for SSDs by a
consortium of vendors that operates across the PCIe bus (hence the
'Express' in the name), which allows the SSD drives to act more like the
fast memory that they are, rather than the hard disks they imitate.
With the ability to support massive 1000+ node render farms without
data contention, support playout to multiple digital intermediaries from
a single volume, or work effortlessly with uncompressed 8K content, the
F2000 supports all these workflows and more. It does this by taking
advantage of NVMe performance and parallelism.
NVMe inherently provides direct access to storage and massive
parallelism to unlock the true performance of flash.
The F2000 also supports RDMA protocols—another networking
technology that reduces network overhead, and provides direct client
access to storage.
For users moving to IP-based workflows and infrastructures, the
combination of these technologies will enable users to future-proof
their infrastructure and accelerate their workflows in the process.
