This presentation will show the details of NVMesh, a new generation of software-defined storage specially designed for NVMe and how to combine NVMesh with the HPC cluster file system BeeGFS.
NVMe as a hardware technology has the potential to solve I/O starvation problems and to vastly increase efficiency of today’s most demanding applications, enabling new I/O patterns and new algorithms for applications. However, while adding NVMe drives to a server is easy and increasingly affordable nowadays, sharing NVMe over the network for clustered applications without sacrificing a lot of their performance is often considered a big challenge.
