Critical Capabilities for Primary Storage
Key findings:
• Support of NVMe-oF leverages high-speed networks in conjunction with higher transfer rate and latency performance benefits gained from PCIe Gen 4.0. FC will continue to be an important protocol for consistent high performance and reliability; however, NVMe over transmission control protocol will be an important data center transport for distributed systems.
• SDS initiatives extend on-premises storage workloads to operate seamlessly across the distributed hybrid cloud substrate with common management and data services. SDS is central to disaggregated, scalable storage-compute architecture strategies.
• Vendor investments in AI for IT operations and system automation enable a more proactive and resilient platform with the potential to substantially reduce support and maintenance costs, while significantly reducing complexity and administrative costs.
• Cloud IT operations are enabling centralized storage life cycle management and simplifying cost management.
