The storage hardware may not have capacity for future workload scale:
While the assumption is that the storage hardware has sufficient capacity for future workload scale, it's important to acknowledge that there may be scenarios where the current storage capacity might not be sufficient. The architect must document this potential limitation as a risk to the design, ensuring that it is clear that the capacity assumption is not guaranteed.
Additional storage capacity can be procured to expand the solution in the future as needed:
This statement provides a mitigation strategy to address the assumption regarding storage capacity. If future scale requires more storage than initially provided, the design should include a strategy for procuring and integrating additional storage resources to meet demand as needed. This helps ensure scalability and adaptability in the future.
