Overview
The NVMe-over-Fabrics SmartNIC is a high-performance, FPGA-powered interface card designed to expose local PCIe-based NVMe SSDs to remote systems over high-speed Ethernet/IP networks. Supporting both NVMe-over-RDMA and NVMe-over-TCP protocols, this SmartNIC enables disaggregated storage architectures, efficient pooling of SSD resources, and ultra-low-latency access for AI, HPC, and hyperscale deployments. With customizable firmware and DMA offload, it reduces CPU load while maximizing IOPS and bandwidth.
