Survey finds companies are adopting technology for such things as AI, machine learning, edge computing and IoT, but still use legacy storage that can't handle those workloads.

By 2025 organizations will churn out 175 zetta-bytes of data, IDC predicts. However bottlenecks and compute problems continue to plague IT pros as they struggle to support their growing edge workloads, acording to a survey of more than 300 storage professionals by NGD Systems.

By 2025, IDC predicts organizations will churn out 175 zetta-bytes of data. However, a new survey of more than 300 storage professionals by computational storage leader NGD Systems, Inc. found that bottlenecks and compute problems continue to plague IT pros as they struggle to support their growing edge workloads. In the study entitled The State of Storage and Edge Computing conducted by Dimensional Research, barely one in 10 respondents gave themselves an "A" grade for their compute and storage capabilities.

The use of edge computing is driving a need for more local computing power, but a new study reveals that enterprises are facing problems when it comes to supporting edge workloads.

A new survey of more than 300 storage professionals by computational storage company NGD Systems reportedly has found that bottlenecks and compute problems continue to plague IT pros as they struggle to support growing edge workloads. In the study entitled The State of Storage and Edge Computing conducted by Dimensional Research, barely one in 10 respondents gave themselves an “A” grade for their compute and storage capabilities.

The intelligent edge has gained much buzz recently, including interesting comments from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during a keynote at Mobile World Congress. But as IoT devices and applications become more advanced, producing more data and demanding greater speed and power, the need arises for a more efficient edge computing approach.

NVIDIA’s 2019 GPU Technology Conference (GTC) kicked off on Monday of this week at the San Jose Convention Center. While the name of the conference might suggest to the uninitiated that it would be around gaming and other graphics technology
