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.”
