\"4These providers have recently been named major players in distributed file systems and object storage by analyst house Gartner, Inc.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

With unstructured data growth increasing between 30 and 60 percent year over year, enterprises are increasingly seeking flexible on-prem storage products. As a result, the vendors in the distributed file systems and object storage space have begun to invest in scalable storage clustered file systems that focus on cost, speed, and limitations in scalability. As a strategic planning assumption, Gartner projects that enterprises will triple the amount of unstructured data they have stored in the next four years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following providers have recently been named leaders in the Gartner <\/span>Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object Storage<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/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\u2019s 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 providers have earned over a sustained period of time. Here we provide a brief blurb about each and links to product details so you can learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: providers are listed in alphabetical order.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
