GigaOm Object Radar Has 26 Platform Players vs Seagate

Blocks and Files, Tuesday, June 30th, 2026

GigaOm's Object Storage Radar ranks 27 vendors, with Seagate the lone feature-led player among 26 platforms.

GigaOm's 2026 Object Storage Radar report ranks 27 suppliers across three tiers: 11 leaders, 15 challengers, and one entrant. VAST Data and Nutanix are rated as top outperformers moving fastest in the field.

Seagate stands alone as the sole feature-play vendor, having shifted away from a platform-focused strategy. StorJ, Quantum, and IBM moved leftward toward platform approaches, while Cloudian and WEKA were downgraded from leader to challenger status.

Competition centers on core capabilities including S3 protocol support, encryption, data protection, and geo-replication.
