The Role of NVMe over TCP in Modernization

high performance without the proprietary hardware stack

“By 2027, 25 percent of enterprise organizations will deploy NVMe-oF as a storage network protocol, up from less than 10 percent in mid-2023.”

“NVMe-over-TCP makes networked NVMe storage easy to deploy at scale, while delivering performance similar to local flash.”

“NVMe/TCP allows organizations to provision scalable storage without having to change their network architecture fundamentally, and provides latencies akin to that provided from conventional direct-attached storage.”

“As network bandwidth advances and Ethernet technology innovations continue, organizations will move away from the constrained limitations of traditional fibre channel SAN to more flexible and scalable network based storage, with NVMe/TCP a clear frontrunner.”
