SPARK Matrix™: Primary Storage, Q3 2024

QKS Group defines Primary Storage as “a product that provides external storage capabilities through hybrid storage arrays comprising solid-state drives and hard disk drives, along with SDS (software-defined storage), which abstracts storage resources from hardware devices.” Primary storage stores data that is in active use. These products are utilized for use cases requiring quick read/write capabilities with smaller I/O response times. Additionally, Primary storage functionality enables organizational IT systems to separate centralized control plane and let them use the data services for hybrid infrastructure platform and services (HIPS) storage-as-a-service offerings

The research includes detailed competition analysis and vendor evaluation with the proprietary SPARK Matrix analysis. The SPARK Matrix includes ranking and positioning of leading Primary Storage vendors with a global impact. The SPARK Matrix includes analysis of vendors, including DDN-Tintri, Dell, Hitachi Vantara, HPE, Huawei, IBM, Infinidat, NetApp and Pure Storage.

According to Arpita Dash, Analyst at QKS Group, "Primary storage has become integral for all data management strategies. As the market advances, the need for faster, more secure, and scalable storage systems has always been on the rise. As the volume of data continues to grow, the pressure to perform while controlling costs is also critical. Companies investing in next-generation primary storage systems now understand that they are not only solving current operational requirements but also configuring their systems for future operational demands such as AI, machine learning, and real-time analytics. In the future, primary storage will play a pivotal role in accelerating the quest for businesses that are data smart, future-ready, and flexible enough.”
