Core Barriers in Enterprise Storage Infrastructure 企業儲存基礎設施的核心障礙

Organizations building AI infrastructure encounter fundamental storage challenges that slow deployment and increase total cost of ownership.建構 AI 基礎設施的組織面臨根本性儲存挑戰,拖慢部署速度並增加總擁有成本。

Different Storage Needs for Every Use Case 每種使用情境需要不同儲存

AI training, inferencing, databases, and file workloads each demand different storage protocols — Block, File, and Object — forcing organizations to maintain separate storage silos. AI 訓練、推論、資料庫和檔案工作負載各自需要不同的儲存協定 — Block、File 和 Object — 迫使企業維護獨立的儲存孤島。

Cost Balancing a Mix of Data Tiers 多層資料成本難以平衡

Balancing hot NVMe performance storage with cold archive tiers is complex. Organizations overprovision or underutilize expensive SSD capacity due to lack of unified visibility. 在高效能 NVMe 與冷資料層間取得平衡十分複雜,缺乏統一可視性導致過度配置或浪費。

Challenges Supporting Enterprise Migration 企業遷移困難重重

Migrating from legacy SAN/NAS to modern distributed storage requires downtime windows, data migration plans, and retraining of IT staff — delaying AI projects. 從舊有 SAN/NAS 遷移至現代分散式儲存需要停機視窗、資料搬遷計畫與人員再訓練,拖延 AI 專案。

Growing IT Bottlenecks for AI Workloads AI 工作負載的 IT 瓶頸日增

As GPU clusters scale, storage bandwidth and IOPS requirements grow non-linearly. Traditional storage architectures cannot keep up with the throughput demands of LLM training. GPU 叢集擴增時,儲存頻寬與 IOPS 需求非線性增長,傳統架構無法跟上 LLM 訓練吞吐量需求。

One Rich Hardware Profile, One Rich Access Mode 單一硬體架構,單一存取模式

Vendor lock-in forces teams to use proprietary access APIs, making it impossible to serve Kubernetes CSI, NFS, and S3 workloads from a single unified storage platform. 供應商鎖定迫使團隊使用專有 API,無法從單一統一儲存平台同時服務 K8s CSI、NFS 與 S3 工作負載。

Broad Data Backup and Disaster Recovery 資料備份與災難復原範圍廣泛

Enterprise storage must provide snapshot, replication, and EC redundancy. Legacy systems require separate appliances for each function, increasing operational overhead. 企業儲存須提供快照、複寫與 EC 冗餘,傳統系統每項功能需獨立設備,增加營運負擔。
