age array manufacturer Pure Storage has offerings spanning from low-cost QLC NAND-based arrays optimized for capacity to some of the industry’s highest-performing arrays and, as of early 2023, all-flash object storage arrays, all of which can be upgraded nondisruptively with new controllers every few years.
develops high-perfor- mance and highly dense storage systems for block, file and object workloads. Its HyperParallel Flash Array can store over 2 PB of data in a 4U rackmount enclosure. That data is always protected and avail- able and can be recovered by Pavlion’s Swarm RAID Recovery technology at a rate of nearly 5 TB per hour.
CloudFS global file system lets businesses access any file from anywhere at any time. It consolidates data from multiple locations into a single authoritative data source that is then deduplicated, compressed and protected against ran- somware. CloudFS also coordinates which cloud files get sent and who can edit and access them.
itself from a tape automa- tion technology developer into a company focused on managing unstructured data wherever it lives. The company offers what it said is the world’s fastest file system for video as well as Opex-friendly software subscriptions and as-a- service options to manage data from where it is cap- tured, stored and used. StarWind Software Anton Kolomyeytsev CEO, CTO, Chief Architect StarWind Software pro- vides technology to develop hyperconverged infrastructure, includ- ing full-featured storage capabilities using com- modity hardware such as all-flash arrays. The company also provides storage appliances for primary and second- ary storage, as well as a web-based management console.
of storage, networking and video technologies. This includes a cloud NAS offering that com- bines the company’s edge subscription-based software that lets busi- nesses host and develop AI analysis, edge computing and data integration on their Qnap NAS appliances.

ship offering, Scality Ring, is software for managing object storage deploy- ments. Scality Ring scales to multi-PB capacities to provide object storage management from the edge to the cloud. The company in 2021 also launched Scality Artesca, which provides S3-com- patible object storage on virtual machines or stan- dard servers.
developer of HyperCore software for building hyper- converged infrastructures that encompass virtual- ization, disaster recovery, servers and shared storage and replaces them with a fully integrated, self-healing platform for running appli- cations. It can be run on hardware appliances of different sizes in the same cluster and allows nondis- ruptive upgrades by just adding newer hardware.
is aimed at managing the massive growth of unstructured data across disparate environments with a single file data platform to store, man- age and share file data. Qumulo said its technol- ogy can manage 200-plus billion files, 64 billion files in a single production cluster and 20-plus PB with a single full-time employee.
is a turnkey intelligent cloud fabric combining hardware and software to help build multitenant cloud services with their own self-service catalog of automated data and infrastructure services. It can be used to deploy vir- tualized and containerized workloads across multiple on-premises and private and public clouds to provi- sion file, block and object storage.

builds distributed block storage for public and private clouds. The com- pany’s technology aims to replace traditional SANs and all-flash arrays with a fast, scalable and reliable shared storage system operating on standard x86 servers. The software is deployed on a cluster of servers to aggregate their performance and capac- ity into a single shared block storage pool.
software-defined storage that collapses the storage IO stack into a single- layered storage IO engine that supports NVMe flash drives for performance or hard disk drives for capac- ity, along with auto-tiering of data, advanced erasure coding, vRAID data pro- tection, data services orchestration and more.
verged infrastructure stack consists of the company’s NexVisor hypervisor coupled with software-defined storage and networking com- ponents, with all being optimized for advanced storage and network- ing technology, including NVMe and 100G network- ing to run applications in the data center, the cloud and the edge.
StoneFly was an early developer of the iSCSI format but has since used its StoneFusion software to encompass software-defined storage capabilities around SAN, NAS, S3 object storage and unified SAN/NAS/ S3. Its technology is avail- able for primary storage, backup and disaster recov- ery and hyperconverged infrastructure.
Supermicro produces complete storage arrays and servers as well as the motherboards and other components used by many other manufac- turers to do the same. On the storage front, the com- pany offers a full range of arrays for SMBs to enter- prises, with a wide range of capabilities including high-performance or cloud-density-optimized models.
