Zusammenfassung:Examples described herein relate to a network interface controller apparatus, that includes a processor component comprising at least one processor to generate remote memory access communications to access a first group of one or more namespaces; storage interface circuitry to generate remote memory access communications to access a second group of one or more namespaces; and a storage configuration circuitry with a device interface that is accessible through a user space driver, the storage configuration circuitry to set the first and second group of one or more namespaces. In some examples, the device interface is compatible with Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) and the storage configuration circuitry is accessible as a physical function (PF) or a virtual function (VF).
