NVMe has already established as storage choice for modern workloads requiring low latency and high performance. On cloud it is available as NVMe ephemeral resources that can be easily attached to computing instances. Though this option is within reach it comes with other challenges
MayaScale provides NVMe Fabric over TCP on Google Cloud for high-performance shared storage and its performance is compared against running locally using the ephemeral local NVMe SSDs.\
MayaScale works better when configured with multiple cores to provide same parallelism seen with NVMe hardware queues and also the compute instance network and storage performance is also tied to the number of provisioned CPU cores. The software has very low memory requirement only.

Mayascale is able to deliver same IOPS and Bandwidth but with added latency even over NVME fabric using TCP.
