An NVMe IP-Based SAN typically consists of Hosts, NVM Subsystems and one or more network switches that provide IP connectivity.\n\n![IP SAN Diagram](https://github.com/dell/SANdbox/blob/main/Documentation/Images/SimpleIPSAN.png)\n\nAs the number of endpoints used begin to scale up (e.g., more than 32 end devices), a traditional NVMe IP-Based SAN can become difficult to manage. More information about this scalability problem can be found here [NVMe-oF: Discovery Automation for NVMe IP-Based SANs](https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/663/511545)\n\nTo address this scalability challenge, several companies have collaborated on the concept of a Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) to allow administrators to deploy NVMe/TCP at scale. This is accomplished by providing a Centralized Discovery Service for NVMe/TCP Endpoints that facilitates endpoint discovery, registration, soft zoning, and event notification.\n\n![IP SAN Diagram](https://github.com/dell/SANdbox/blob/main/Documentation/Images/DetailedIPSAN.png)\n\nSANdbox provides documentation, tools and helpful resources that will enable you to programatically interact with IP SANs.  Before you begin, please take a moment to review the following information.\n\nAdditional information about Centralized Discovery Controllers (for example Dell's SFSS) and the NVMe/TCP ecosystem can be found below:\n\n- [The Future of Software-defined Networking for Storage Connectivity](https://www.delltechnologies.com/en-us/blog/the-future-of-software-defined-networking-for-storage-connectivity/)\n- [NVMe-oF Looking beyond performance hero numbers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6nifK_Rkxw__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!WdfAXaGVUFFHMzL4v-Pj2BdinQaPpTkm1l6GZTc15AdXNgIWDPyAsi6FVftH7iA$)\n- [SNIA NSF – Discovery Automation for NVMe IP-Based SANs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzeK_g-1Pxw__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!WdfAXaGVUFFHMzL4v-Pj2BdinQaPpTkm1l6GZTc15AdXNgIWDPyAsi6F4G96ptU$)\n- [SNIA SDC – Discovery Protocol deep dive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqb3s0llNxw__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!WdfAXaGVUFFHMzL4v-Pj2BdinQaPpTkm1l6GZTc15AdXNgIWDPyAsi6FeqdFbxU$)\n- [Nvme-stas (Dell maintained open source discovery client for Linux)](https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-stas)\n- [SPDK added support for TP-8009 Auto-discovery](https://github.com/spdk/spdk/commit/2796687d54c4dc0e1babf5422057239612e9a10c)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdell%2Fsandbox","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdell%2Fsandbox","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdell%2Fsandbox/lists"}
