IBM has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Solid-State Arrays (SSA) for the fourth year in a row.
According to Gartner, vendors in the Leaders quadrant have the highest scores for their ability to execute and completeness of vision. “A vendor in the Leaders quadrant has the market share, credibility, and marketing and sales capabilities needed to drive the acceptance of new technologies. These vendors demonstrate a clear understanding of market needs; they are innovators and thought leaders; and they have well-articulated plans that customers and prospects can use when designing their storage infrastructures and strategies. In addition, they have a presence in all four major geographical regions, consistent financial performance and broad platform support.“
IBM’s position as a leader comes after it announced its development of Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solutions. They will provide clients the ability to significantly lower latencies in an effort to speed data to and from storage solutions and systems as well as new hybrid-cloud, all-flash family of storage solutions for mainframe users, which helps automate the movement of data to and from the cloud.
