SANBlaze
Technologies, Inc
. is live this week at the UNH NVMe-oF™
Plugfest successfully testing NVMe targets over the entire set of NVMe
transports – NVMe over Fibre Channel and Fabrics including RoCE, and TCP
connections.

The University of New Hampshire Plugfests are a unique vendor-centric
gathering where manufacturers test their equipment’s interoperability
with other vendors, ensuring any glitches or software bugs get
identified and fixed well before they go in live customer environments.

“This week, SANBlaze has been running NVMe conformance testing with HPE,
Mellanox, Western Digital, Lightbits and SolarFlare over TCP and RoCE
with excellent results,” said Vince Asbridge, President of SANBlaze.
“The UNH Plugfests are key in finding and fixing problems by allowing
vendors to verify specification compliance and cross vendor operation,
and it’s great to see SANBlaze being used as a key validation and
emulation tool.”

“NVMe is fast becoming a dominant protocol for the Storage Area Network
(SAN),” continued Vince. “The implementation of NVMe over TCP allows
NVMe to run on existing network infrastructure and cloud-based storage,
which will trigger exponential growth for NVMe as a Fabric based
protocol.”

The NVMe-oF™ Plugfest operates this week at the IOL testing labs at UNH,
June 17th – 20th.

Next week, SANBlaze
will participate in the NVMe (PCIe) Plugfest at UNH, June 24th – 27th
utilizing its new native NVMe PCIe™ Gen4 test system called the SANBlaze
SBExpress-RM4
. Whether testing native NVMe (PCI) or testing NVMe
over Fibre Channel or Fabrics (RoCE and TCP), SANBlaze
is a complete end-to-end test solution for all variations of NVMe SSD
drives.
