As FPGA-based embedded systems take on more demanding workloads\u2014AI inference, real-time data logging, high-speed sensor ingestion\u2014traditional local SSD storage begins to reveal its limits. Power draw, thermal constraints, space shortages, and maintenance challenges all add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what if your FPGA system could scale seamlessly without carrying the weight of storage media inside the box?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s where remote-attached storage with NVMe over TCP (NVMe\/TCP)<\/strong> comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By shifting the storage media outside the enclosure and connecting via 10G or 25G Ethernet<\/strong>, engineers can offload the challenges of heat, power, and scaling\u2014while still maintaining deterministic performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Design Gateway\u2019s NVMeTCP IP Core<\/strong> enables your FPGA to act like it\u2019s talking to a local NVMe SSD, while actually streaming data at line rate to a remote NVMe\/TCP server. This approach removes CPU bottlenecks and delivers hardware-level efficiency that software-based solutions simply can\u2019t match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
