As a Senior Research Associate in 451 Research’s Storage Channel, Liam Rogers covers technology and business-model innovation across the enterprise storage landscape – spanning primary storage systems and software, backup and recovery, archiving, cloud storage services, cloud-enabling storage technologies and storage management. This includes markets such as data management, hyperconverged infrastructure and software-defined storage.
He holds a BA in English with a minor in Business Administration from Shenandoah University. He also has an MA in Professional Writing and Rhetoric from George Mason University, where he received an award for Outstanding Graduate Student in Writing and Rhetoric.
The company is best known for its RING software-defined object storage platform, but it is moving to address the challenges of data management across multi-cloud environments with its Zenko multi-cloud storage controller technology.
The company is taking a software-defined and application-centric approach to persistent storage for containerized applications that includes features like automated management. Ultimately, it brings the same mobility and flexibility already associated with containers to the storage part of the equation.
In recent years, Nutanix has been gradually building upon its predominantly HCI-centric reputation. New services like Beam, Era and Xi are a necessary step toward building the perception that infrastructure should be invisible for customers.
The data protection market has seen a convergence of products as previously separate capabilities are brought together and integrated. Zerto is aiming to take on traditional backup and the accompanying use cases with its data replication platform.
Container usage brings the potential to alleviate some of the common infrastructure pain points often associated with storage – such as slow provisioning speed that can take days to weeks – and is expected to become a driver of infrastructure transformation.
The Voice of the Enterprise: Storage, Workloads and Key Projects survey was conducted from February through April 2018. The survey represents approximately 600 total completes from pre-qualified IT decision-makers primarily based in North America and Europe. In addition to regular quarterly topics, this report focuses on key issues affecting IT and storage infrastructure spending and deployments. Markets covered include primary storage and backup and recovery.
