Against the backdrop of Moore’s Law and ultra-low latency non-volatile memory express (NVMe) solid state drives, network speed and total capacity are increasingly the levers that make or break an application’s performance. Fibre Channel (FC) storage networking may be frequently announced dead, but in fact is alive and growing because of the consistent levels of very low latency and high bandwidth that it can bring to growing NVMe-oF implementations and workloads such as high-velocity analytics, artificial intelligence and private cloud workload hosting. Be sure to listen as the President of the FC Industry Association (FCIA), Mark Jones, joins Storage Switzerland Senior Analyst Krista Macomberto share his take on what is driving continued adoption of FC, and where the technology will fit in moving forward.
