DCIG announces the immediate availability of the 2024-25 DCIG TOP 5 Midrange Hybrid Cloud Storage Solutions Global Edition Report. This report provides guidance to organizations looking for a midrange hybrid cloud storage solution that both tiers data to cloud storage platforms and provides a software-defined storage (SDS) option.
Most organizations no longer just want to have hybrid cloud capabilities as part of their core data center capabilities. They expect their internal data centers to deliver them.
Thankfully, many enterprise technologies today already offer hybrid cloud capabilities. However, there’s a question every organization must ask and answer when it comes to choosing a solution with hybrid cloud capabilities.
What constitutes hybrid cloud capabilities, particularly when it comes to midrange storage solutions? As DCIG recently uncovered in its research, midrange storage solutions possess at least two levels of hybrid cloud capabilities.
Hitachi Vantara’s new leadership team is refocusing the company on storage and taking its trusted technology to the hybrid cloud and midrange marketplace.

DCIG is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the 2024-25 DCIG TOP 5 Enterprise Hybrid Cloud SDS NAS Solutions report. This report provides guidance on the DCIG TOP 5 enterprise solutions for unifying on-premises and cloud storage under a single management plane.
Most organizations already use a hybrid cloud in some way. Of the cloud’s available offerings, cloud object storage represents the one that many use first. Organizations often initially move and store their archival and backup data on cloud object storage. Yet when they do, many also experience sticker shock. To minimize these costs, organizations need to choose a deduplication solution that embraces a hybrid cloud strategy.
Organizations of all sizes want to incorporate the cloud as part of their networked attached storage (NAS) strategy. Using hybrid cloud NAS solutions, they obtain the performance of on-premises storage with the virtually unlimited scalability of cloud storage. However, not all organizations have the same file storage needs. This has resulted in the emergence of at least three hybrid cloud NAS architectures to meet these various organizational needs.
In a recent interview, James Coomer, Senior Vice President for Products at DDN Storage, revealed how the largest private storage company in the world is now bringing its HPC expertise to the enterprise, and enterprise features to HPC.

Over the last five years, what mid-sized enterprises expect from their technology infrastructures has changed significantly. Data and the continuous availability of the systems that provide that data are critical to virtually all business operations. Beyond operations, we have entered a period of digital transformation where data has become a tactical and even strategic resource. Data is the foundation for value creation. Enterprise storage systems are changing in a variety of ways to address enterprise expectations for continuous availability, greater capacity, and the performance required to support critical workloads.
