A network architecture including a streaming array that includes a plurality of compute sleds, wherein each compute sled includes one or more compute nodes. The network architecture including a network storage of the streaming array. The network architecture including a PCIe fabric of the streaming array configured to provide direct access to the network storage from a plurality of compute nodes of the streaming array. The PCIe fabric including one or more array-level PCIe switches, wherein each array-level PCIe switch is communicatively coupled to corresponding compute nodes of corresponding compute sleds and communicatively coupled to the network storage. The network storage is shared by the plurality of compute nodes of the streaming array.
