DCIG Launches Research into 100+ NAS Systems to Identify the Industry’s TOP 5 General-Purpose Backup Appliances
July 30, 2026
DCIG has identified more than 20 storage providers offering 100+ NAS systems explicitly positioned for backup workloads. These numbers reflect how NAS platforms remain a viable option for organizations building scalable, cyber-resilient backup repositories. Despite this common use case, enterprise buyers lack objective guidance for evaluating NAS systems specifically for backup. Recognizing this gap, DCIG has initiated comprehensive research into using NAS systems as general-purpose backup appliances. This research will culminate in multiple DCIG TOP 5 reports identifying the ones best suited for modern enterprise backup environments.
