We are proud to announce that Zadara Storage has been named Market Leader, Price Leader, Performance Leader and Innovation Leader by IT Professionals as part of the IT Brand Pulse annual brand leadership awards 2015. These awards recognize our leadership specifically in the area of On-Premise Enterprise Storage as a Service (our OPaaS offering).
Bringing the trophy home in not just one, but four categories, reaffirms something that everyone in the industry is seeing: a sweeping shift from traditional enterprise storage leasing or purchasing models to as-a-Service models. A recent report by IT Brand Pulse sees the market for OpEx storage growing from 11% in 2015 to 28% of the storage market in 2018, and a whopping 80% of all storage in 2023.
Everything is changing – and now that the tectonic plates have started to drift, the world of storage will never be the same. CapEx moves to OpEx, storage solutions become scalable and elastic in all directions, and configurations can be changed with a single click of a button. We are proud to be at the forefront of this paradigm shift redefining enterprise storage in a way that customers want to have it.
The fact that the awards are based on votes of IT professionals, and not a panel of judges, makes this win even greater for us. As a service-oriented company we win our customers’ confidence every single day! Being recognized by IT professionals for our OPaaS solution is a huge accomplishment, and I believe it will further promote Zadara Storage as one of the industry leaders not only in cloud, but also on-premises and in hybrid environments.
The awards will be issued at the Software Defined Infrastructure Summit on December 2nd in Santa Clara, CA. We hope you can join us there!
