Once again, Gartner changes the name of this Magic Quadrant (MQ) arguing some market changes needed alignments. It comes from 'Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions' to 'Backup and Data Protection Platforms'.
This MQ continues to surf on its past reputation but, as usual, some questions appear on every lips. Several players mentioned in the report offer to download the document after registration, we let you pick your preferred one. Of course the quadrant image itself, the one below, is distributed freely on many websites without any registration need.
The good thing is the consideration of backup software, services and integrated secondary storage and it is well translated in several companies' portfolio. It is good to see the consideration of some segments convergence in the domain fueled by some key acquisitions like Clumio or Appranix and even before Hedvig for Commvault, Kasten and Alcion by Veeam, Datos.io and Igneous by Rubrik and of course the NEW cohesity entity shaking the market, fueled by Veritas NetBackup product and impressive installed base.
