Summary: Today on the Datanauts, we look at non-volatile memory express, or NVMe.<br> NVMe SSDs are fast. As these drives go mainstream and make their way into enterprises and clouds at scale, what’s that mean for distributed storage networking?<br> We play “move the bottleneck” on today’s Datanauts. Our guest is J Metz, a.k.a <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/drjmetz" rel="noopener">@drjmetz</a> on Twitter. He’s Research & Development Engineer for Advanced Storage at Cisco Systems.<br> He’s also been on previous episodes, including <a target="_blank" href="https://packetpushers.net/podcast/podcasts/datanauts-093-erasure-coding-distributed-storage/" rel="noopener">Datanauts 093: Erasure Coding And Distributed Storage</a>.<br> We discuss the basics of NVMe and how it works, look at its performance specs, and explore how this technology will impact the network and the design of distributed storage systems.<br>
