Abstract:
In one embodiment, a network of SSDs includes a switch with a plurality of powered ports configured to be communicatively coupled to a controller and a host client and a plurality of SSDs configured to be communicatively coupled to the plurality of powered ports. The switch is configured to deliver up to a predefined power level to each of the plurality of SSDs via the plurality of powered port. Each of the plurality of SSDs consumes power. The controller is configured to manage the predefined power level for each of the plurality of SSDs by identifying the power consumed by each of the plurality of SSDs and allocating a new power level to each of the plurality of SSDs based on the power consumed by each of the plurality of SSD. In one embodiment, the switch and the plurality of SSDs are configured to occupy a server rack space.
