NVMe 2.0 Specifications: The Next Generation of NVMe Technology

The NVM Express® (NVMe®) family of specifications, released in June 2021, allow for faster and simpler development of NVMe solutions to support the increasingly diverse NVMe device environment, now including Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). The extensibility of the specifications encourages the development of independent command sets like Zoned Namespaces (ZNS) and Key Value (KV) while enabling support for the various underlying transport protocols common to NVMe and NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) technologies. The NVMe 2.0 library of specifications have been broken out of multiple documents, including the NVMe Base specification, various Command Set specifications, various Transport specifications and the NVMe Management Interface specification. In this session, attendees will learn how the restructured NVMe 2.0 specifications enable the seamless deployment of flash-based solutions in many emerging market segments. This session will provide an overview and usages for several the new features in the NVMe 2.0 Specifications including ZNS, KV, Rotational Media and Endurance Group Management. Finally, the session will cover how these new features will benefit the cloud, enterprise and client market segments.
