Perfect for high-performance, latency-sensitive workloads
Enterprises are quickly moving their high-performance, latency-sensitive workloads to NVMe flash-based
storage. The DB730S Switch supports NVMe over Fibre Channel, enabling organizations to integrate Gen
7 Fibre Channel networks with next-generation flash storage, without a disruptive rip-and-replace. This
enables enterprises to achieve faster application response times and harness the performance innovation
inherent in NVMe storage. NVMe, combined with the high performance and low latency of Gen 7 Fibre
Channel, delivers the performance, application response time, and scalability needed for next-generation
data centers.
