As we sit here, in the year Two Thousand and Eighteen
(better known as "the future, where the robots live"),
our beloved Linux is the undisputed king of supercomputing.
Of the top 500 supercomputers in the world, approximately zero of them don't run Linux (give or take...zero).
NVMe drives have paved the way for computing at stellar speeds,
but the technology didn't suddenly appear overnight. It was through
an evolutionary process that we now rely on the very performant SSD for our primary storage tier.
By design, NVMe drives are intended to provide local access to the machines
they are plugged in to; however, the NVMe over Fabric specification seeks
to address this very limitation by enabling remote network access to that same device.
