2021 CRN Storage 100: 5 Data Management Companies to Consider

Solutions Review editors highlight the most prominent data management solution providers from the new 2021 CRN Storage 100.

IT news and analysis outlet CRN recently released its 2021 Storage 100, a ranking of prominent data storage vendors that solution providers should be aware of. The list is made up of established and emerging data storage vendors. The list is broken down into four distinct product categories that include components, software-defined storage, data management, and data protection.

CRN pre-published a list of The Coolest Data Management Companies included in the overall list via an interactive slideshow. Though the Storage 100 is aimed at highlighting storage vendors for the purposes of solution provider partnering, Solutions Review is most interested in highlighting the vendors that offer unique products and platforms for enterprise organizations. As such, we’ve read through CRN’s complete rankings, available here, to analyze the trending data management companies we think matter most.
