SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - May 17, 2017) - Igneous Systems, the company that designed the industry's first secondary storage to handle massive file systems, has been recognized by Gartner as a 2017 Cool Vendor in Storage Technologies. Igneous Hybrid Storage Cloud offers the convenience of cloud, including remote management, behind customers' firewalls.
According to the Gartner Cool Vendors report1, "Managing data growth and supporting the business demands of providing storage have been the top concern of I&O leaders responsible for storage for the past three years. Sadly, current deployments and practices have done little to address this top pain point. The market is looking for solutions that can make significant, not incremental, gains in addressing what is becoming a more pronounced and more expensive issue."
"We continue to see enterprises struggle with protecting and managing unstructured data across billions of files and hundreds of file systems," said Kiran Bhageshpur, CEO of Igneous Systems. "We are excited to be included in the Gartner Cool Vendor Report."
