18 We’re honored to be recognized by Gartner as a leader in Distributed File and Object storage for the second year in a row. Scality was one of 15 companies evaluated for the report. Each vendor was analyzed across a comprehensive set of capabilities including the ability to execute and completion of vision. Scality is the only independent vendor to be named in the leader quadrant. Scality’s distinction in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for File Systems and Object Storage for two consecutive years is a strong validation of the power of the Scality RING object storage platform and the value it brings to our customers across wide-ranging vertical market environments. Our advancement further into the “Completeness of Vision” and “Innovator” categories is testament to the strength of our groundbreaking product and cloud and object storage technology portfolios. “By 2021, more than 80% of enterprise data will be stored in scale-out storage systems in enterprise and cloud data centers, up from 30% today.” Gartner Gartner notes, “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. Market Leaders will typically be able to execute strongly across multiple geographies with products that cover both distributed file systems and object storage offerings. They also have consistent financial performance, broad platform support and flexible deployments models.” Software-defined Scality RING object storage turns any standard x86 servers into web-scale storage.
