In the next digital revolution, we need to use IT as a competitive advantage.
Data is a transformative business asset in today's digital economy. However, only 6% of business executives see IT as a competitive advantage for their companies, in contrast to 25% who believe that IT more often becomes a drag on the business. IT support alone has already become scarce, new technologies are expected to stimulate the creation of new business lines, new customers, as well as additional data and speed.Access to new data is often the key to running super-productive applications, such as productive databases. Among those executives who view IT as an obstacle to business development, 43% indicated that this is due to a far from the preferred speed of work, they simply get access to data too slowly, the benefits of IT are not obvious to them., - . , , NVMe, .
NVMe over Fibre Channel
PS In this article, we will not compare Fiber Channel with other standards. In Russia, there are a lot of companies that use exactly FC solutions, which will be very difficult to refuse from in the coming years.
For those new to NVMe, this is an optimized parallel protocol designed to maximize performance when working with low latency flash memory.For example, NVMe supports 64K (65536) queues with a depth of 65536 each, unlike SATA, with only one queue and a depth of only 32 teams. This advantage is the main reason why the new standard has high expectations. About 80% of IT managers who are familiar with NVMe technology said they expect it to eventually replace traditional flash memory with SAS or SATA2 connectivity., - NVMe.

NVMe over Fibre Channel ?
A wide range of industries, including healthcare, e-commerce, automotive, financial services, telecommunications and manufacturing, are actively evaluating NVMe over Fiber Channel, hoping to gain a pioneer advantage. Through faster use of these data-driven applications and approaches, such as analytics and machine / deep learning, leading firms are striving to turn data into a competitive advantage.Innovation is often costly, usually crowding out existing solutions. These changes introduce risk, take away valuable staff time, and slow down technology adoption. Through expanded planning, the FC vendor community has resolved and almost fixed these issues with the NVMe over Fiber Channel, offering many benefits, including:

Fiber Channel is ready to help rethink the approach to mission-critical systems and provide what could be the most painless major technology transition in recent years. NVMe over Fiber Channel does not require any new infrastructure or management skills. Businesses can immediately take advantage of high productivity and give users access to this vital data at completely different speeds.If you have additional interest in this topic, then on April 9 there will be a webinar on which you can delve deeper into the topic of NVMe over Fiber Channel. The speakers will be Sergey Tselikov, Brocade Technical Specialist, and Ivan Schetinin, HPE Corporate Storage Manager.
