  Networked Storage

Networked Storage

Networked storage is a storage system that provides data storage and management services over a network. It enables multiple devices to access and share the data over the network. Some of the popular technologies used in networked storage include Network-Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Network (SAN), Object Storage, and cloud storage.

These technologies have evolved to meet the increasing demand for data storage and management and provide solutions for organizations of different sizes and with varying storage requirements.

Technologies that shape the Networked Storage

From the protocols point of view, there are several protocols that are used for networked storage technology:

Know More
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface)

iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface)

An IP-based protocol that allows hosts to send SCSI commands to remote storage devices.

NFS (Network File System)

NFS (Network File System)

A protocol that allows a user to access files on a remote server as if they were stored locally.

CIFS (Common Internet File System)

CIFS (Common Internet File System)

A protocol that allows file and printer sharing between computers running Microsoft Windows and other operating systems.

Fibre Channel

Fibre Channel

A high-speed data transfer protocol used in storage area networks (SANs).

FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet)

FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet)

A protocol that enables Fibre Channel traffic to be carried over Ethernet networks.

NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics)

NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics)

A protocol that enables NVMe storage devices to be used over a network.

Latest cutting-edge high-speed network is in the area of NVMe-OF

NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics) is a technology that provides high-performance access to Non- Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) storage devices over various network fabrics such as Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and InfiniBand. It allows multiple hosts to access NVMe storage devices simultaneously, providing shared access to high-speed storage resources. This technology is becoming increasingly popular in data centres, cloud computing environments, and high- performance computing environments, where fast and efficient access to large amounts of data is critical.

NVM Express over Fabrics

NVMe-OF (NVM Express over Fabrics) is a technology for accessing storage over a network. The various sub technologies within NVMe-OF include

01

RDMA

A low-latency interconnect technology that allows direct memory access from one host to another.

02

TCP/IP

A standard for transmitting data over the Internet or other IP-based networks.

03

Fibre Channel

A high-speed data transfer technology for Storage Area Networks (SANs).

04

InfiniBand

A high-speed interconnect technology used for connecting servers and storage devices in data centres.

05

RoCE

A network technology that allows efficient data transfers using standard Ethernet networks.

These sub technologies enable efficient data transfer and access to storage over a network and can be used in combination with NVMe-OF to create highly scalable and fast storage solutions.

NVMe-OF (NVM Express over Fabrics) is a technology for accessing storage over a network. The various sub technologies within NVMe-OF include

RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) : A low-latency interconnect technology that allows direct memory access from one host to another.

TCP/IP : A standard for transmitting data over the Internet or other IP-based networks.

Fibre Channel : A high-speed data transfer technology for Storage Area Networks (SANs).
