Hello, NVME over Fabric is a great feature, I've not fully understood if to leverage the feature we need to have network switches that support this type of protocol or if the existing networks switches offer support for it. I already know that RDMA-Enabled network card are needed. Thank you for your...

I've not understood (my fault, I'm newbie on StarWind) if StarWind VSAN does automated tiering (not L2 cache which is different). If StarWind has not tiering I could l...
