For the ninth consecutive year, IBM has been recognized as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object Storage for its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute in the data-driven scale-out storage market for unstructured data.
Unlike traditional applications that work with structured data stored in databases, today’s new artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and advanced analytics workloads operate on both structured and unstructured data such as documents, audio, images, and videos.
To manage these ever-growing data sets, IBM provides a global data platform built around IBM Storage Scale software and the IBM Storage Scale System 6000 hardware implementation. Together, they help accelerate business growth and innovation by:
- Advancing AI discovery and classification;
- Helping eliminate data silos;
- Optimizing data for massive scale;
- Protecting data.
Storage Scale software is designed to address these requirements with global data abstraction services that connect disparate data sources across multiple locations. Storage Scale System 6000 leverages the power of Storage Scale software combined with NVMe flash and hybrid flash/disk technology to deliver high performance storage for AI, data analytics, and file and object use cases.
We believe this year’s ninth consecutive recognition from Gartner underscores IBM's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that address the evolving needs of organizations in today's data-driven world.
This comprehensive approach to data management empowers organizations to:
- Accelerate AI Applications: by providing high-performance storage and data services, IBM Storage enables organizations to accelerate AI training, inferencing, and deployment.
- Enhance Collaboration: IBM Storage breaks down data silos and enables seamless collaboration across multiple sites and workloads.
- Reduce Costs: through data optimization, tiering, and support for hybrid cloud environments, IBM Storage helps organizations lower their total cost of ownership.
- Strengthen Security: IBM Storage prioritizes data security with features such as end-to-end encryption, proactive cyber security, and cyber resiliency capabilities.
