Intel



@IntelStorage



Intel is the other interesting player in the storage connectivity space, not so much for Ethernet or InfiniBand as for its intention to bring its proprietary Omni-Path network fabric to the high-performance storage market. This could be a tough sell, since the core electronics of these solutions have essentially the same speeds and feeds, but if Intel makes a case for a transition by limiting the new 3D XPoint (Optane) flash alternative to Omni-Path for example, it will upset the direction of the whole industry.

The performance end of the storage market is pushing for NVMe network access (NVME over Fabric) using Ethernet or perhaps Fibre Channel, with RDMA in either case. All the major players, both all-flash array vendors and traditional array suppliers, together with a host of startups are jumping on this bandwagon to supply storage appliances connected with RDMA fabrics.
