NVM Express Honors the Contributors to the NVMe-oF™ Boot Specification and the Timberland SIG Reference Implementation

NVM Express is proud to recognize the contributors to the NVM Express® (NVMe®) over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) Boot specification, developed by the NVMe Boot Task Group, and to the boot specification compliant reference code, developed by the Timberland SIG. This award highlights each of the key members who have provided significant contributions to the development of the NVMe-oF Boot specification and the Timberland SIG reference code.

The NVMe-oF Boot specification forms the foundation of a multi-vendor solution to boot computer systems from OS images stored on NVMe devices across a fabric, necessary for large-scale deployments. Additionally, the reference code developed by the Timberland SIG, in partnership with NVM Express, provides example BIOS code and supporting features for NVMe-oF technology, including nvme-cli and libnvme software. With numerous benefits for enterprise and hyperscale data centers, including improved stability and consistent network functionality.
