We are experiencing an industry-wide data explosion<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Over recent years, emerging technologies such as\u00a05G<\/a>, the\u00a0Internet of Things (IoT)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0artificial intelligence (AI)<\/a>\u00a0have generated significant excitement across many industries. This is largely because they have the potential to dramatically change the way in which information or data is stored and used, enhancing transparency and security, while also improving productivity and insights. However, these technologies also have the potential to generate extreme amounts of data, which will require storage facilities to match, with an emphasis on low latency and high capacity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s difficult to predict the future, but one fairly safe prediction is that the amount of data produced will continue to expand exponentially in the coming decade. IDC recently predicted that more than 59 zettabytes (ZB) of data will be created, captured, copied, and consumed in the world this year. With this huge explosion in data already happening, how can companies across all industries prepare and optimize their storage systems?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Organisations across multiple industries now have troves of raw data that require powerful and sophisticated\u00a0analytics tools<\/a>\u00a0to allow them to gain insights that can improve operational performance and create new market opportunities. The businesses that are able to harness these capabilities effectively will be able to create significant value and differentiate themselves, while others will find themselves increasingly at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The financial sector is one vertical that is constantly inundated with enormous amounts of data, ranging from banking transactions to analyst projects and stock prices. Another industry is manufacturing, where automation is being applied to IoT, analytics and to production lines, increasing the output capacity of production systems and scaling hundreds of units to thousands or even millions of units per hour.RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As businesses across all sectors contend with the perpetual growth of data, they need to rethink how data is captured, preserved, accessed and transformed. Whether it\u2019s high-performance AI, hyper-scale always-on systems or even personal gaming, many legacy storage systems experience lower performance, higher latencies, and poor quality of service when confronted with some of the new challenges of fast data.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The NVMe\u2122 solution to big data<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To address these challenges, many businesses are turning to Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe), the only protocol that stands out for highly demanding and compute-intensive enterprise,\u00a0cloud computing<\/a>\u00a0and edge data ecosystems. NVMe offers a selection of innovative features that are having a great impact on businesses and what they can do with data. These include:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Increased performance<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The first flash-based\u00a0SSDs<\/a>\u00a0leveraged legacy SATA\/SAS physical interfaces, protocols, and form factors, but none of the interfaces and protocols involved were designed for high-speed storage media. PCI Express (PCIe) was the next logical storage interface, but early PCIe SSDs leveraged proprietary firmware, which was particularly challenging for system scaling. NVMe emerged as a result of these challenges, as it offers significantly higher performance and lower latencies compared to legacy SAS and SATA protocols.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

NVMe storage systems can be implemented without a specialized networking infrastructure \u2014 traditional Ethernet or Fibre Channel connectivity will do. This is important as it means no changes are required to the application.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Conventional protocols consume many CPU cycles to make data available to\u00a0business applications<\/a>, and these wasted compute cycles cost businesses real money.\u00a0IT infrastructure<\/a>\u00a0budgets aren\u2019t growing at the pace of data and businesses are under tremendous pressure to maximize returns on infrastructure \u2013 both in storage and compute. Because NVMe can handle rigorous application workloads with a smaller infrastructure footprint, organisations can reduce the total cost of ownership and accelerate top line business growth.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We are just starting to scratch the surface of the data revolution. New discoveries coming from IoT,\u00a0machine learning<\/a>\u00a0and new applications are transforming the value of data, and organisations need to re-think their storage solutions in order to efficiently handle these new technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVMe offers enterprise features that have simply not existed before, opening up a new paradigm for businesses to design and build their applications \u2013 with higher performance, lower latencies and at a fraction of the cost. The adoption of NVMe will be a vital step for any organisation who wishes to prepare for the big data revolution of the 2020s and beyond.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
