What is the purpose of the NVMe over RDMA service?

The purpose of the NVMe over RDMA service is specifically to handle dedicated NVMe over RDMA storage traffic. This technology leverages the advantages of both the NVMe protocol, which is designed for high-speed storage, and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), which allows servers to access memory from other servers with minimal CPU overhead. By using NVMe over RDMA, data can be transferred with lower latency and higher throughput compared to traditional storage access methods.

This service is particularly beneficial in environments where high-performance storage solutions are needed, such as in data centers utilizing SSDs (Solid State Drives) that communicate over the NVMe interface. The combination of NVMe and RDMA enables more efficient data processing and improves overall performance for applications that require fast access to storage resources.

While disk allocation management, optimizing CPU performance in virtual machines, and cloud backup solutions are all important aspects of storage in a virtualized environment, they do not directly relate to the specific functionality and purpose of the NVMe over RDMA service. This service is focused solely on the efficient handling of storage traffic, making it a crucial component for organizations that depend on high-performance storage systems.
