Reference in the domain for more than a decade, StorageX promotes itself as an unified unstructured data management platform for the enterprise. This categorization is key as we often articulate solutions in 3 groups: tool, product and platform:
- Tool is easy but is limited to one task or process and used for limited usage and limited time. The problem is the multiplication of tools to address large needs especially in the enterprise where demand is pretty wide. This generates IT complexity, increase of cost and potential divergence of data.
- Product is more comprehensive but still limited to a set of usages. Beyond the generic term of product, this category represents a more wide functions coverage within the enterprise but the business doesn't rely on it.
- Platform is fundamental as it means the enterprise builds IT processes on that platform being used everyday all the time. As a platform, it runs large set of features and consolidates multiple use cases.
As an enterprise, IT subscribes to several clouds but needs to align data management processes across them and across data centers. This harmonization become a key metric to control costs and maintain high SLA. Thus, StorageX has added a key capability to copy/replicate objects across clouds and maintain data persistency and distribution.
Data Dynamics has really accelerated for a few quarters confirming once again that StorageX is one of more comprehensive solution. Let's watch them closely in 2021.
