It was great to hear from Kingston Technology at Tech Field Day Extra at VMworld. They presented extensively on NVMe, including their DCP1000 PCIe card capable of 1.25 million read IOPS. Roger Lund shares their slide deck from the event.
Tech Field Day Extra – Kingston Technologies
Matt Crape shares his thoughts from Kingston’s presentation at Tech Field Day Extra from this year’s VMworld US. The company focused on its NVMe storage offerings, specifically their new DCP1000 and DCU1000, which offer up to 4TB of NVMe in either a PCIe or U.2 format. Both supply a lot of IOPS, and Kingston provisions them with 28% extra capacity to provide wear durability. Matt sees them being really valuable in video rendering and other large processing applications.
Kingston’s NVMe Line-up Is The Life Of The Party
At Kingston’s Tech Field Day Extra presentation from VMworld, they showed off what the company is doing with NVMe. They reminded the delegates that NVMe isn’t a new type of media, but rather a protocol, one with radical simpler calls than something like SATA. Dan Frith was impressed by the speeds and various form factors the versatile protocol inhabits.
NVMe to enable truly composable infrastructure?
After seeing Kingston’s Tech Field Day Extra presentation from VMworld, Keith Townsend reconsiders composable infrastructure. Kingston presented that the reduced protocols required by NVMe vs SATA makes for a much more efficient model of this emerging computing infrastructure.
