NVME over fabrics.. I guess, the general idea being to run NVME over FC, RCoE, or infiniband.
Given the existing install-base of FC, I'm guessing as people upgrade to the 32/128Gbit adapters they will start to purchase disk's that can support FC-NVME as well. Which will bootstrap the market there.
Although it could go to infiniband as well, if people buy into the converged infiniband/ethernet adapter route.
To soon to tell, but a lot of it will be dependent on which technology does a better job avoiding the "forklift" upgrade problem that FCoE required.
