Three Providers of High-Performance Storage Interconnect NVMe over TCP Named IDC Innovators
Summary
With digital transformation under way in many IT organizations, enterprises are deploying a range of newer technologies to deliver the performance, availability, and flexibility demanded by next generation applications. Early production deployments of NVMe-oF started to become available in 2017, providing access across a switched fabric to high-performance NVMe-based storage with the same latencies as local NVMe-based solid-state disks (SSDs). Some customers have strong preferences for a standardized client since it simplifies installation and maintenance and makes it easy to potentially connect all servers in their infrastructure up to high performance NVMe-based storage as necessary. " Lightbits Labs played a key role in the development of the NVMe over TCP standard and offers a pure target-side solution that requires no client components. With more than 1,100 analysts worldwide, IDC offers global, regional, and local expertise on technology and industry opportunities and trends in over 110 countries.
