METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BW SLA IN NVMe oF ETHERNET SSD STORAGE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18092432 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BW SLA IN NVMe oF ETHERNET SSD STORAGE SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an Ethernet solid-state drive (eSSD) system that includes multiple eSSDs, an Ethernet switch, and a baseboard management controller. The baseboard management controller controls the Ethernet switch to allocate a specific bandwidth to each eSSD based on stored information in a policy table. The allocated bandwidth can be different for ingress and egress, and can be adjusted based on the service level and operating parameters of each eSSD.

  • The system consists of eSSDs, an Ethernet switch, and a baseboard management controller.
  • The baseboard management controller controls the Ethernet switch to allocate bandwidth to each eSSD.
  • The allocated bandwidth is predetermined and can be different for ingress and egress.
  • The predetermined bandwidth is based on bandwidth information stored in a policy table.
  • The allocated bandwidth can be adaptively adjusted based on the service level and operating parameters of each eSSD.

Potential Applications

  • Data centers and server farms that utilize eSSDs can benefit from this technology.
  • High-performance computing systems that rely on eSSDs can make use of the allocated bandwidth control.
  • Cloud storage providers can improve their service quality by efficiently managing bandwidth allocation for eSSDs.

Problems Solved

  • Bandwidth allocation for eSSDs can be a challenge in complex storage systems.
  • Inefficient bandwidth allocation can lead to performance bottlenecks and reduced system efficiency.
  • This technology solves the problem of managing bandwidth allocation for eSSDs in a simplified and adaptive manner.

Benefits

  • Improved performance and efficiency in storage systems utilizing eSSDs.
  • Adaptive bandwidth allocation based on service level and operating parameters enhances system optimization.
  • Simplified management of bandwidth allocation through the baseboard management controller.


Original Abstract Submitted

An Ethernet solid-state drive (eSSD) system includes a plurality of eSSDs, an Ethernet switch and a baseboard management controller. The Ethernet switch is coupled to each of the eSSDs, and the baseboard management controller is coupled to the each of the eSSDs and to the Ethernet switch. The baseboard management controller controls the Ethernet switch to provide to each eSSD a corresponding predetermined bandwidth that is based on bandwidth information for the eSSD that is stored in a policy table of the baseboard management controller. The at least one predetermined bandwidth may include a predetermined ingress bandwidth and a predetermined egress bandwidth for the corresponding eSSD. The at least one predetermined bandwidth may be based on a service level associated with the corresponding eSSD, and may be adaptively based on operating parameters of the corresponding eSSD.
