Avoiding technology bottlenecks is all about seeing the bigger picture
Stephen Gaston, Senior Product Controller, ETB Technologies, says in an environment where technology evolves rapidly, future-proofing systems by overcoming bottlenecks is the key to sustained success.
Bottlenecks in technology systems can significantly hinder business performance, scalability and efficiency.
Whether caused by outdated infrastructure, imbalanced hardware configurations or insufficient power and cooling, these limitations can create serious challenges for businesses looking to grow and optimise operations.
Understanding and mitigating system bottlenecks is crucial, requiring a strategic, holistic approach to ensure every component works together, seamlessly.
Understanding technology bottlenecks
A technology bottleneck refers to a specific component or process that limits overall system performance, preventing other parts from operating at their full potential. Bottlenecks occur when the demand on a particular resource exceeds its capacity, leading to slowdowns, inefficiencies, and reduced productivity. These issues can manifest in various ways, such as delayed data processing, slow application performance, or network congestion.
Common bottlenecks include processing power mismatches, insufficient memory, slow storage, network congestion and inadequate cooling solutions.
Processing power constraints and memory limits
High-performance workloads, such as AI modelling and large-scale data processing, require a delicate balance between CPU and GPU power. Globally,
