Time for NVMe over TCP
Ubiquitous standard for storage disaggregation
One of the new and emerging areas of storage is the growth of the NVMe over TCP (NVMe/TCP) protocol. Due to its ability to provide high performance at a substantially lower cost than other similarly performant storage technologies while utilizing existing Ethernet infrastructure, NVMe/TCP is emerging as a viable alternative to traditional SAN-based storage for similar workloads that require block devices. NVMe/TCP is the most powerful NVMe-oF™ technology, providing high performance with reduced deployment costs and design complexity. It extends NVMe across the entire data center using simple and efficient TCP/IP fabric.
