    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for data storage systems are provided herein. In one example, a data storage assembly is provided that includes a plurality of storage drives each comprising a PCIe host interface and solid state storage media. The data storage assembly includes a PCIe switch circuit coupled to the PCIe host interfaces of the storage drives and configured to receive storage operations issued by one or more host systems over a shared PCIe interface and transfer the storage operations for delivery to the storage drives over selected ones of the PCIe host interfaces. The data storage assembly includes a control processor configured to monitor usage statistics of the storage drives, and power control circuitry configured to selectively remove the power from ones of the storage drives based at least on the usage statistics of the storage drives.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for computing systems are provided herein. In one example, a system includes a plurality of first modules each having a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface and a processor, and a plurality of second modules each having a PCIe interface. PCIe switch circuitry is coupled to the PCIe interfaces of the first modules and the PCIe interfaces of the second modules, wherein the PCIe switch circuitry is configured to establish logical isolation in the PCIe switch circuitry between one or more first modules and one or more second modules. At least one processor instantiates access to the one or more second modules for the one or more first modules over at least the logical isolation in the PCIe switch circuitry.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for computing systems are provided herein. In one example, a system includes processing modules each having a communication interface and a processor, and additional modules each having a communication interface. Communication switch circuitry is coupled to the communication interfaces of the processing modules and the communication interfaces of the additional modules, wherein the communication switch circuitry is configured to establish isolation among ports in the communication switch circuitry for one or more processing modules and one or more additional modules. At least one processor instantiates access to the one or more additional modules for the one or more processing modules over at least the isolation.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for data storage systems are provided herein. In one example, a data storage assembly is provided. The data storage assembly includes a plurality of storage drives each comprising a PCIe host interface and solid state storage media, with each of the storage drives configured to store and retrieve data responsive to storage operations received over an associated PCIe host interface. The data storage assembly includes a PCIe switch circuit coupled to the PCIe host interfaces of the storage drives and configured to receive the storage operations issued by one or more host systems over a shared PCIe interface and transfer the storage operations for delivery to the storage drives over selected ones of the PCIe host interfaces. The data storage assembly includes holdup circuitry configured to provide power to at least the storage drives after input power is lost to the data storage assembly.
