| | SEPTEMBER 20186CIOReviewThe confluence of cloud computing, mobile applications, and IoT is transforming the enterprise storage sector at a rapid pace. With the growth of modern applications and data, storage has become a key component in boosting performance. As a result, advanced technologies such as cloud and containerization are steering enterprises' move toward more efficient storage strategies that can simplify data protection while reducing capital and operational expense. Along with the demand for new and efficient methods to store and process data, there is an increased focus on overcoming security threats with powerful solutions that can facilitate instant recovery and zero downtime. Companies are embracing cloud computing and SaaS that provide them with better backups and storage. Organizations are also venturing into server-based storage by merging commodity server hardware with software-defined storage stacks to lower costs and streamline operations. Server based storage is becoming an integral part of big data initiatives--for workloads and data-intensive mission-critical projects that require object-based storage. On the other hand, Software-defined storage (SDS) will see continued adoption in the IT infrastructure of the modern data center due to its versatility in delivering faster and more flexible storage provision with low costs.While considering these innovations, the type and usage of data in an organization will also play a significant role in defining the most suitable and efficient storage plan. With an aim to highlight the expert solution providers in the storage space, CIOReview is presenting its annual edition on storage solutions. This edition blends insights from industry leaders with a listing of most promising companies in the storage solution space.Let us know your thoughts.EditorialUshering in an Era of Next Gen Storage Copyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc.
