Scalability and cost are the biggest challenges say British and German IT decision-makers
ATTO Technology , a global leader of network , storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments for over 30 years , has announced the findings of an independent survey of IT decision-makers across the UK and Germany .
According to the survey , conducted by Vanson Bourne , organisations adopting enterprise NVMe storage currently face two main challenges : scalability and cost . In addition , the respondents indicated that they still need NVMe to offer greater flexibility , manageability and affordability .
NVMe has opened up new opportunities for data-hungry and business-critical applications that demand low-latency , highperformance enterprise storage connectivity . This is thanks partly to NVMe ’ s ability to reach significantly higher performance levels than alternatives such as SAS via a lighter command set and switched transport architecture . However , this also introduces a downside when it comes to scalability , cost , reliability , serviceability , management and environmental awareness .
Across both countries , 31 % of respondents stated that scaling NVMe into larger data pools was a challenge and that they were looking for greater flexibility and better management tools . 27 % indicated that the cost of NVMe storage poses a challenge that makes it difficult to justify the investment . In addition , 20 % of the responses revealed that NVMe showed weaknesses in other parts of the storage infrastructure . Only 12 % of the cases in the poll had not experienced any challenges when adopting NVMe storage .
