IDC: NVMe over TCP Enables the Democratization of Disaggregated, NVMe Storage

Hyperscalers have introduced several infrastructure innovations that have ultimately been adopted by IT organizations across all industries. What unlocks these innovations for more widespread use, however, are vendors that create off-the-shelf, easy-to-deploy solutions leveraging those innovations, such as NVMe over TCP. The move to disaggregation by the hyperscalers for web-scale infrastructure at scale is a particularly interesting development in the storage space, and Lightbits has created a solution that promises to democratize this innovation.

Lightbits’ storage cluster is a highly available, disaggregated platform that lets customers very efficiently share high performance, NVMe-based storage in a software-defined solution that is completely based on industry standards.

This whitepaper from IDC Research presents the benefits and architectural considerations for adopting NVMe over TCP storage.
