GigaOm Highlights Key Players In Cloud Storage Landscape
Blocks&Files, Thursday, November 9,2023
GigaOm analysts have surveyed the cloud file storage area and found it necessary to split it into two distinct areas for its Radar reports: distributed cloud file storage, with a focus on collaboration, and high-performance cloud file storage.
Three suppliers are present in both reports: Hammerspace, Nasuni and Panzura. CTERA leads the distributed cloud file storage area while NetApp is ahead in the high-performance cloud file storage report.
A Radar report is GigaOm's view of the main suppliers in a market area, summarizing their attributes within three concentric rings - entrant (outer), challenger, and leader (inner) - with those set closer to the center judged to be of higher overall value. Vendors are located with reference to their scores on two axes - Maturity to Innovation and Feature Play to Platform Play. An arrow projects each vendor's offering over the coming 12 to 18 months. The arrows represent three types: a forward mover, a fast mover, and an outperformer.
