本發明是有關於一種轉接裝置及網路卡模組,且特別是有關於一種具有OCP 3.0介面的轉接裝置及網路卡模組。The present invention relates to a switching device and a network card module, and more particularly to a switching device and a network card module with an OCP 3.0 interface.
隨著大數據時代的來臨,網際網路用戶對數據中心的需求越來越大,企業為了滿足資料大量運送與處理資料的需求,需要考量導入新的存儲架構,來建構一個成本合理、且能處理資料異質的存儲硬體架構。OCP網路卡提供了靈活、可靠、高性價比的儲存網域連接方式,也滿足未來的擴充需求。此外,OCP 3.0介面可提供從系統外簡單插拔的功能,而成為目前的趨勢。With the advent of the era of big data, Internet users’ demand for data centers is increasing. In order to meet the needs of large amounts of data transportation and processing, enterprises need to consider introducing new storage architectures to build a reasonable cost and Storage hardware architecture that handles heterogeneous data. The OCP network card provides a flexible, reliable, and cost-effective way to connect to the storage network domain, and also meets future expansion needs. In addition, the OCP 3.0 interface can provide simple plug-in functions from outside the system, which has become the current trend.
然而,目前伺服器的外接插槽大多是用來供硬碟插設的U.2插槽,OCP 3.0插槽相當有限,而難以利用OCP 3.0網路卡來對網路功能或是儲存網域的連接性進行大幅擴充。此外,OCP 3.0插槽所佔的空間較大,若主機板的板邊配置較多的OCP 3.0插槽,則會占用較多主機板的空間,對應的要犧牲其他的傳輸接口。However, most of the current server’s external slots are U.2 slots for hard drives. OCP 3.0 slots are quite limited, and it is difficult to use OCP 3.0 network cards to perform network functions or storage domains. Connectivity has been greatly expanded. In addition, the OCP 3.0 slot occupies a larger space. If the motherboard is equipped with more OCP 3.0 slots on the side of the board, it will occupy more space on the motherboard, and correspondingly, other transmission interfaces will be sacrificed.
