NVMe Switch Adapter
Broadcom’s MegaRAID and HBA solutions are the industry’s most widely deployed storage adapters. To this already robust line up, NVMe switch adapters add another option for enterprise storage portfolios. Using Broadcom PEX PCIe switches, NVMe switch adapters provide a turn-key solution enabling quick expansion of native NVMe SSD storage. Switch adapters present the attached NVMe drives directly to the host using the native NVMe drive or OS drivers. The PEX switch delivers several innovative features including an embedded management processor. Key adapter features include:
Flexible drive configuration supporting x1, x2, x4 NVMe drives
Synthetic hierarchy support creating “Placeholder Endpoints” for any empty slots where a NVMe endpoint device could be later installed to the system with requiring a system re-boot.
Surprise drive add and remove using standard system BIOS and OS software
Support for SFF-TA-1005 or Universal Backplane Management (UBM)
