Flash is powering the digital transformation. New emerging real-time applications will demand even more. NetApp has a vision for integrating new technologies such as NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) and storage-class memory (SCM) to accelerate the digital transformation through nondisruptive integration of these 'disruptive' innovations. Figure 1 illustrates the vision of how these technologies work together.
I was privileged to share a bit of the NetApp vision recently at Flash Memory Summit 2017. For the first time, NetApp publicly shared three proof-of-concept demonstrations of how we might use these new technologies. Note the disclaimer at the end of this blog post explaining that these are not committed products with a committed timeline yet, but rather representatives of the overall NetApp vision.
The following video contains both a description of that overall vision and three demos:
