Enterprises are increasingly warming to the idea of adding software-defined infrastructure to their datacenters, according to a new report from analyst firm 451 Research.
The survey shows that 67 percent of large organizations are going to increase spending on software-defined infrastructure (SDI) this year, which will result on a total of 14.4 percent more spent. Despite those figures, however, only about a fifth of enterprises are using any SDI at all, showing that there's still a long way to go.
Of the 79 percent of non-SDI shops, two key hurdles are keeping it at bay: low maturity of SDI products and lack of staff expertise. "To achieve successful implementation, decision-makers should first conduct an audit of their internal skills and look to fill any gaps. Meanwhile, vendors should aim to play a more proactive role in communicating requirements and presenting case studies to help overcome these barriers," 451 Research senior analyst Nikolay Yamakawa said in a press release.
