Summary: This show is a cracker! Just the right level of technical detail and a topic that could be a game changer in the future of storage… Hosts Nigel Poulton and Rick Vanover are joined by a couple of real techies – Joe Foster, Distinguished Technologist at HP Tim Symons, Principal Engineer from PMC Sierra The topic of discussion is SCSI Express and the wider picture of unleashing the power o solid state storage. Taking off the shackles that exist in todays servers and storage arrays that currently hold it back. Some of the topics discussed include – Bringing SCSI further in to the 21st century Bringing RAID controllers in to the 21st century Bringing hot plug capability to PCIe Placing SSD closer to the CPU in storage arrays (no more hanging of legacy back end loops and stacks) Does $/IOP cut the mustard SCSI Express versus NVM Express (with an obvious bias to SCSI Express) Some but kissing of the T10 standards bodies Rant about PCI Special Interest Group
