NVMe/TCP Extends NVMe Across the Entire Data Center with TCP/IP Fabric

NVMe® was designed for high-performance direct-attached PCIe SSDs and was later expanded with NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) to support a hyperscale remote pool of SSDs. The industry has widely accepted that this new NVMe-oF model will replace Direct Attached Storage (DAS) and become the default protocol for disaggregated storage in cloud and on premise infrastructure. NVMe over TCP (NVMe/TCP) is the most powerful NVMe-oF technology, providing high performance with reduced deployment costs and design complexity. NVMe/TCP extends NVMe across the entire data center using simple and efficient TCP/IP fabric.

Benefits of Disaggregated Storage for Cloud-Native and On Premise Applications

  • Scale compute and storage independently
  • Uses existing TCP/IP network, runs on any standard hardware
  • Single storage cluster can service multiple tenants and heterogeneous application environments
  • High IOPs, consistent low latency
  • High storage utilization, both capacity and performance
  • Storage-based replication and recovery
  • Intelligent Flash Management and rich data services, better flash endurance, lower TCO
