Enterprise data storage solutions come in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet the ever-changing needs of organizations and their increasingly complex environments. Enterprises require primary storage arrays that can serve a number of different use cases, and in the case of data storage, can range from data management to regulatory compliance. There are both small and large providers that offer software to help these companies with both niche and common challenges, though choosing the vendor(s) that are right for your specific environment can be a daunting task.<\/p>\n

The following providers have recently been named leaders in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage<\/em><\/a>. The report, which highlights and scores the top products in the industry, features these four tools as being cornerstones in the space. Each provider’s market share and product portfolios differ, which is what makes them interesting to the wider audience of data consumers. Niche and emerging vendors can only hope to replicate the kind of market presence that these companies have earned over a sustained period of time.<\/p>\n

Here we provide a brief blurb about each and links to product details so you can learn more.<\/p>\n
