RING features an integrated virtual file system that provides file storage services without the need for an external file gateway. Scality offers RING, an object and scale-out file storage software solution.
Scality and Qumulo are also positioned in a near-identical manner to Gartner’s last iteration of the report, with both straddling the lower portion of the leader column. IBM’s position as the main challenger to Dell EMC continues, with its two main product lines (Spectrum Scale and Cloud Object Storage) having been recently updated to include support for containerized workloads and a KAFKA integration to notify customers when new objects are stored or altered. The vendor’s Elastic Cloud Storage solution is primarily used as an archive and cloud storage for unstructured data, offering an expansive capabilities portfolio and multiprotocol support. At Solutions Review, we read the report, available here, and pulled out the key takeaways.ĭell EMC remains the runaway leader in the distributed file systems and object storage space, though it did give up a little ground to IBM on the horizontal axis. The graph is divided into four quadrants: niche players, challengers, visionaries, and leaders. In this Magic Quadrant, Gartner evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of 16 providers that it considers most significant in the marketplace, and provides readers with a graph (the Magic Quadrant) plotting the vendors based on their ability to execute and their completeness of vision. As a strategic planning assumption, Gartner projects that enterprises will triple the amount of unstructured data they have stored in the next four years. As a result, the vendors in this space have begun to invest in scalable storage clustered file systems that focus on cost, speed and limitations in scalability. With unstructured data growth increasing between 30 and 60 percent year over year, enterprises are increasingly seeking flexible on-prem storage products.
recently released the 2019 version of its Magic Quadrant for Data Distributed File Systems and Object Storage. The researcher defines distributed file systems and object storage as software and hardware solutions that are based on “shared-nothing architecture” and that support object and/or scale-out file technology to address requirements for unstructured data growth.” However, as Gartner notes, most IT professionals pair shared-nothing architectures with systems that keep centrally stored state information in a database or server.
