OCCL Objectives

Why another compatibility lab?

  • Create interoperability across the Fabric Attached Device eco-system

  • Enable customers to confidently purchase Fabric Attached Devices that work together

  • Compare performance of enterprise SSDs in a consistent fabric attached environment

  • Demonstrate integration of disaggregated storage systems including SSDs, storage enclosures, fabric elements, operating systems, and software defined storage

  • Enable composition / orchestration providers to focus on their value add (vs. debugging device and fabric interoperability issues)

  • Provide an open environment to debug interoperability issues

  • Enable eco-system partners to verify compatibility to OC API

OCCL Principles

Open Composable Architecture Best Practices

  • All Fabric Attached Devices are peers

  • Vendors all benefit when customers can confidently purchase interoperable components

  • Provide an open environment to debug interoperability issues

  • Build on the foundation created by passing UNH-IOL Ethernet and NVMe-oF testing

  • Establish OCCL as a center of excellence for NVM Express over Fabrics™
