It’s no secret that deploying an NVMe IP SAN can significantly improve workload performance, but the manual discovery and configuration overhead can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Traditional direct discovery methods require explicit knowledge of all hosts, subsystem NVMe Qualified Names (NQNs), and interface IP addresses. This is not much of a concern in smaller networks.

We reviewed the HP t640 thin client a few years ago and found the performance and build quality impressive. It was published just before the pandemic and the massive work-from-home (WFH) revolution, which, in effect, really pushed what we expect from a remote work device. Thin clients have come a long way in the past
