Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for virtualizing storage resources on non-volatile memory in a way that enables virtual machines on a computing device to efficiently access computing resources across multiple partitions of multiple non-volatile memory devices. For example, systems disclosed herein facilitate establishing a binding (e.g., a physical function, such as a single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) or a multi-physical function (MPF)) between the virtual machine(s) and solid state drive (SSD) devices. The systems disclosed herein further involve using a virtual volume manager on an operating system of the virtual machine(s) to implement features and functionality of the virtual machine(s) in accordance with configuration data unique to the virtual machine(s).
