![]() ![]() "That’s really when the full promise of the performance of NVME starts to take effect." NVMe over fabric extends the same performance advantages of NVMe inside of an array to the network, so that users can get extremely low-latency, high-bandwidth capability from the servers to the array, over the network, said IDC's Burgener. The Nimble platform will also support NVMe over fabric, Shetti said. Users of the new Nimble systems will be able to add a new chassis or new storage bays into the array and plug in the new NVMe SSDs, or swap out older drives. The demand for NVMe and SCM for IoT systems over the next year will increase demand and bring costs down, Shetti said. The new HPE Nimble Storage All Flash Array now supports NVMe and storage class memory.įlash storage technology know-how had existed for decades, but it took the advent of the iPhone and iPad for manufacturers to gear up to fabricate them at a scale where costs made sense to bring the technology into mainstream enterprise storage, Shetti noted. ![]() "I mean people could use them but the cost factor is still not there the reality is most of the customers are going to wait for the price curve to hit." HPE "SCM and NVMe right now - in the supply chain and from the supply curve standpoint - are not mainstream scale," Shetti said. Noting that the market for SSDs has been hit over the past year or so by shortages and high prices, Shetti said that mainstream use of NVMe SSDs and SCM drives is about 12 months out. Though the arrays have slots where NVMe SSDs can be plugged in, users scanning a price list for various options for the arrays won't notice NVMe SSDs listed. In fact, though HPE does ship its Gen 10 servers with NVMe SSDs now, it does not plan to ship NVMe SSDs with the Nimble storage arrays just yet. We believe the future of the data center will be autonomous and powered by artificial intelligence - meanwhile, the Store More guarantee goes to the simplification part of the vision."īy engineering the storage arrays to support NVMe and SCM, HPE is trying to "future-proof" the storage technology for its users, Shetti said. "We are already revolutionizing the storage industry because we are delivering insights into data. "The vision is to simplify and revolutionize the storage industry," Shetti said. HPE's 3Par storage line, generally aimed at higher-end enterprise use than Nimble, is also now shipping with InfoSight. The sensors are in the storage devices but also collect network, compute and hypervisor data. InfoSight collects infrastructure information from sensors and runs analytics to detect patterns in order to predict, for example, when a user might run out of storage capacity. The new arrays incorporate the InfoSight predictive analytics platform for flash storage, which has been enhanced with an AI-based recommendations engine. Milan Shetti, general manger, HPE Storage SCM offers up to 10 times lower latency than NAND flash technology, HPE says. NVMe SSDs are expected to offer two orders of magnitude speed improvement over prior SSDs.īoth the all flash and adaptive flash arrays also support storage-class memory (SCM), or persistent memory, a hybrid memory/storage technology that offers a level of performance somewhere between today's flash SSDs and DRAM. The new HPE Nimble Storage All Flash arrays as well as Nimble Adaptive Flash arrays for hybrid implementations (mixing solid state drives and hard disk drives, for example), are generally available from May 7 and have both been engineered to support NVMe (non-volatile memory express), an extremely fast communications protocol and controller designed to move data to and from SSDs via the PCIe bus standard.
