Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a computer storage array providing one or more remote initiators with NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) access to one or more storage devices connected to the storage array. According to an example embodiment, the computer storage array comprises: a computer processor configured to run an operating system for managing networking protocols; a network switch configured to establish an NVMe-oF connection and route data between the initiators and the storage devices; a baseboard management controller (BMC) configured to configure a network setting or NVMe-oF setting of the storage devices; a PCIe switch connecting the BMC with each of the storage devices via a PCIe bus; and a computer motherboard including the PCIe bus and to which the computer processor, network switch, BMC and PCIe switch are installed.
