Storage management a weak area for most enterprises
Why? The chief reason given is that while enterprises are rapidly deploying technologies for edge networks, real-time analytics, machine learning, and internet of things (IoT) projects, they are still using legacy storage solutions that are not designed for such data-intensive workloads. More than half – 54% – said their processing of edge applications is a bottleneck, and they want faster and more intelligent storage solutions.
It’s not all bad news. The study, entitled “The State of Storage and Edge Computing” and conducted by Dimensional Research, found 60% of storage professionals are using NVMe SSDs to speed up the processing of large data sets being generated at the edge.
