METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FINE TUNING AND OPTIMIZING NVME-OF SSDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18527227 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FINE TUNING AND OPTIMIZING NVME-OF SSDS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a data storage system that includes multiple storage devices, a motherboard with a baseboard management controller (BMC), and a network switch for routing network traffic to the storage devices. The BMC can identify a group of storage devices based on device-specific information and provide identifiers to querying parties.

  • The data storage system includes:
 - Plurality of data storage devices
 - Motherboard with a baseboard management controller (BMC)
 - Network switch for routing network traffic
  • The BMC can:
 - Identify a group of storage devices based on device-specific information
 - Send identifiers of the group of storage devices to querying parties

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in data centers, cloud storage systems, and enterprise storage solutions.

Problems Solved

Efficient management and identification of storage devices in a complex data storage system.

Benefits

Improved data storage system performance, streamlined data access, and enhanced system management capabilities.

Potential Commercial Applications

- Data center storage solutions - Cloud storage services - Enterprise storage management systems

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include similar data storage systems with BMCs for device management and network switches for traffic routing.

Unanswered Questions

How does the BMC handle security and access control for the identified group of storage devices?

The abstract does not provide details on the security measures implemented by the BMC for the identified storage devices.

What protocols does the network switch support for efficient routing of network traffic?

The abstract does not specify the network protocols supported by the network switch for optimal traffic routing.


Original Abstract Submitted

A data storage system includes: a plurality of data storage devices; a motherboard containing a baseboard management controller (BMC); and a network switch configured to route network traffic to the plurality of data storage devices. The BMC is configured to identify a group of data storage devices among the plurality of data storage devices based on device-specific information received from the plurality of data storage devices and send identifiers of the group of data storage devices to a querying party.
