In reply to Dan. SmartM configured the server with an Intel 750 NVMe, but the specific test shown in the article (out of five in the demo) is a single thread test. There is another multi-threaded test that reaches higher ops/sec.

In reply to Amit Golander. Which NVMe are you using?

In reply to Amit Golander. Hi, we appreciate the read and the comments, some corrections have been made. We understand latency can never be zero, we are just going off of how the benchmark reads.

Few comments:
1. Plexistor software-defined memory (SDM) is software. The NVDIMM cards actually belong to SmartM in this demo
2. Plexistor SDM is multi-tiered, so it consumes both NVDIMM and FLASH NVMe resources
3. Latency is never zero 😉 it is 1-2 micro seconds for this bechmark
