NVM Express (NVMe) Flash Storage

• NVMe is the new standard for PCI Express (PCIe) SSDs

• Architected for Flash Storage with minimal CPU overhead

• Works directly with PCIe interface

• No SCSI protocol overhead resulting in very fast response

• 5x to 10x IOPS improvement over SAS based SSDs

• Low latency of 100s of micro seconds

• Improves database performance and reliability

5

Benefits


Support Hot-Swappable, High-Bandwidth Flash

NVM Express (NVMe) – High IOPS Flash Implementations

6

Uses same 2.5-inch small-form-factor (SFF) drive bays as hard drives and conventional SSDs

Four drive bays in the two-socket enclosure are designated as NVMe capable

Oracle’s unique design connects the disk backplane to an internal PCIe switch that occupies one of the internal PCIe slots and bypasses the SAS controller.

NVM Express SSDs

• Eliminates the protocol transformation to SAS

• Interfaces with root complex over a four-lane PCIe Gen3 interface

Conventional SSDs

• Flash data is first transformed to SAS protocol

• Bandwidth to each SSD limited by SAS-3 bandwidth
