ATTO Technology, Inc., a global leader of network, storage connectivity and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive computing environments for over 30 years, today announced the findings of an independent survey of IT decision-makers from across the UK and Germany conducted by Vanson Bourne.
According to the survey organizations adopting NVMe storage currently face two main challenges: scalability and cost. In addition, the respondents indicated that, irrespective of their industry, they still need NVMe to offer greater flexibility, manageability, and affordability.
The above limitations notwithstanding, NVMe has opened up new opportunities for data-hungry and business-critical applications that demand low-latency, high-performance 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.
“While NVMe provides undeniable performance benefits for data-driven organizations, there is still some work to do,” said Tim Klein, ATTO’s co-founder, president, and CEO. “Teething problems occur with any new technology, and end-users are still looking for NVMe solutions that will meet their speed requirements without compromising on scalability, manageability, and affordability.”
In the survey, IT decision-makers in the UK and Germany from across a range of industries including professional services, telecom, financial, manufacturing, and retail, were asked: “Which of the following challenges have you or your organization experienced in adopting NVMe storage solutions?”
