Abstract: An Ethernet solid-state drive (eSSD) system includes a plurality of eSSDs, an Ethernet switch and a baseboard management controller. The Ethernet switch is coupled to each of the eSSDs, and the baseboard management controller is coupled to the each of the eSSDs and to the Ethernet switch. The baseboard management controller controls the Ethernet switch to provide to each eSSD a corresponding predetermined bandwidth that is based on bandwidth information for the eSSD that is stored in a policy table of the baseboard management controller. The at least one predetermined bandwidth may include a predetermined ingress bandwidth and a predetermined egress bandwidth for the corresponding eSSD. The at least one predetermined bandwidth may be based on a service level associated with the corresponding eSSD, and may be adaptively based on operating parameters of the corresponding eSSD.

Abstract: A management controller is disclosed. The management controller may include a receiver to receive a request from an initiator. A translator may translate the request received from the initiator into a command for a multi-mode single port device. A bridge may communicate with the multi-mode single port device and the initiator, sending the command to the multi-mode single port device and receiving a reply from the multi-mode single port device. The translator may then translate the reply to the command into a response for the initiator, whereupon a transmitter may transmit the response to the initiator.

Abstract: A method may include coupling a device to a host through a connector, receiving, by a host controller, a request for boost power from the device, determining, by the host controller, an amount of surplus power available from one or more power sources arranged to provide power to the device through the connector, and allocating at least a portion of the surplus power to the device as boost power. The method may further include negotiating an amount of the boost power based on the amount of surplus power available from the one or more power sources. The method may further include monitoring a power consumption of the device, and reducing a total power allocation to the device based on the power consumption of the device.
