Many organizations depend on high-end storage arrays to provide uninterrupted access to their most essential data. Key attributes include high-performance with high availability. High-end storage must also integrate into data center management and automation practices, and with critical software applications to secure and protect the data.

DCIG evaluated thirty-five (35) enterprise storage systems that met its criteria for high-end storage arrays. The DCIG TOP 5 High-End Storage Arrays report identifies how the top five solutions differentiate themselves from the larger group of products, and one another, in ten feature areas:

• Acquisition and deployment options
• Capacity
• Density
• Hybrid cloud capabilities
• Latency and throughput claims
• NVMe/FC support
• Performance resources
• Predictive analytics and proactive support
• Public cloud integrations
• Storage virtualization
