Information associated with each of a plurality of solid state drives in the plurality of non-volatile memory disk shelves associated with the received request is obtained. A namespace for each of the plurality of solid state drives in the plurality of non-volatile memory disk shelves using the obtained information is created. The requested block of storage in the non-volatile memory solid state drive associated with one of the created namespace is assigned to the requesting client computing device.
