Paper Title: Accelerating NVMe Adoption With Enterprise Storage-as-a-Service

Paper Abstract: Despite the extensive benefits offered by NVMe and NVMe-oF, many organizations will miss opportunities for competitive advantage due to real and perceived barriers to rapid adoption. Factors ranging from institutional caution to the advice of leading industry analysts are limiting NVMe adoption, restricting the cost, performance, and operational benefits to point solutions. One of the key benefits of true enterprise storage-as-a-service is the power it provides users to quickly and simply adopt new technology, without incurring the costs and risks typically associated with traditional storage generational change. This is a proven model and has been leveraged by multiple users to seamlessly incorporate multiple storage technology advances to improve costs and, more importantly, bring new services quickly to market.
