Abstract
A network switch is provided. The network switch may incorporate resources for use as network attached resources for remote devices. Resources may include SSD storage for use as network attached storage for remote devices. The network switch may also include one or more client applications configured to detect an intended access path between a remote device and a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) storage device. The intended access path may be based on one of many different NVMe over fabric (NVMe-oF) protocols. The network switch (via the one or more client applications) automatically configures parameters to provide a network connectivity path between the remote device and the NVMe storage device. Communication includes at least one of a virtual local area network (VLAN) and a communication tunnel and/or other form of dedicated communication path to facilitate remotely accessible storage capacity provided from the network switch to the remote device.
