Broadcom, NetApp, and VMware Among the First to Demonstrate End-to-end NVMe over Fibre Channel with vSphere
27 Août 2018 - 3:00PM
Streamlined solution for enterprise on-premises
SAN customers; leverages VMware’s standard management tools &
current SAN infrastructure
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), NetApp, and VMware are
demonstrating an NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) solution
delivering the next level of storage performance required by
real-time applications for artificial intelligence, machine
learning, and real-time analytics. The Broadcom, NetApp, and
VMware demonstration in NetApp Booth 1036 at VMworld shows:
- NVMe over Fibre Channel running on VMware vSphere
- Building an NVMe namespace on the NetApp Array for a Windows
Virtual Machine, a SUSE Virtual Machine, and a Redhat Virtual
Machine
- Building a Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK)
- Installing VMs on a NVMe/FC Name Space from an ISO on a SCSI
FCP LUN, showing concurrent NVMe/FC and SCSI FCP on the same
infrastructure
The demo consists of Emulex® LPe32002 Gen 6 HBAs, NetApp AFF
A300 all-flash storage array with pre-release ONTAP, and Brocade®
Gen 6 switch with a pre-release version of vSphere code1.
Key Advantages of NVMe over Fibre Channel include:
- Highest performance: NVMe over
Fibre Channel delivers 50% more IOPs and 30% lower latency over a
like SCSI solution on the AFF A700 NetApp array, as
measured and validated by Demartek. See the Demartek
report for more information.
- Seamlessly extends customer’s existing SAN
infrastructure for Real-Time Applications: with
concurrent SCSI and NVMe over Fibre Channel support.
- Purpose-built for storage: NVMe over
Fibre Channel is lossless and can handle the scalability
requirements of next-generation applications including Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL),
Real-time Analytics and existing mission-critical
applications.
- Leverages the most secure Fabric
platform: NVMe over Fibre Channel is the proven
network for mission-critical data.
“NVMe over Fibre Channel has emerged as
the preeminent NVMe-oF protocol. It delivers proven,
low-latency performance running over bullet-proof Fibre Channel
networks to support existing applications and emerging workloads
such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning
and data analytics. VMware plays a critical role by enabling
customers to take advantage of this next level of
performance.”- Jeff Hoogenboom, general
manager, Emulex Connectivity Division at Broadcom. “Today’s
enterprise is under enormous pressure to unlock the full value of
their data quickly. NVMe drives alone won’t deliver on the promise
of the next performance revolution. To realize the true value of
NVMe technology, you need end-to-end NVMe connecting an all-Flash
array with NVMe SSDs through NVMe over Fabric connectivity all the
way to the server. Our work with Broadcom offers a modern
end-to-end NVMe enterprise platform that allows users to run 50
percent more workloads or potentially cut their
application-response time in half.”
- Jeff Baxter, chief evangelist, ONTAP,
NetApp.
“VMware software innovation makes the
latest storage technology quickly accessible to today’s storage
customer. By working with Broadcom and NetApp, VMware is
helping unleash the performance of NVMe technology.”
- Lee Caswell, vice president, Product,
Storage and Availability Business Unit, VMware.
“As enterprise applications move onto the VMware vSphere
platform, they require a modern infrastructure to support the
performance, reliability and scale requirements for highly
virtualized environments. NVMe storage from NetApp and Fibre
Channel from Broadcom drive unmatched storage performance on a
network proven in the world’s most demanding virtualized data
centers. This demonstration showcases NVMe over Fibre Channel as a
technology available today that every customer should consider as
they modernize their data centers.”
- Jack Rondoni, senior vice president and
general manager, Brocade Storage Networking division
at Broadcom.
“NVMe over Fibre Channel provides a simple, clean path to get
the benefits of NVMe over Fabrics™ for the many enterprises that
already use Fibre Channel. In our tests, running on the same
hardware, we observed significantly higher IOPS and
lower latency with NVMe/FC as compared to traditional SCSI
FCP. Our report has seen very high interest since it was
published in May 2018.”
- Dennis Martin, president, Demartek.
