According to the Gartner report, “by 2021, more than 80% of enterprise data will be stored in scale-out storage systems in enterprise and cloud data centers, up from 30% today“.

This leads to a continuous growth for storage systems based on distributed file systems and object storage in both number and capacity. Gartner also mentions, that the data growth is exceeding 50% year over year, which creates a strong demand for infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders to look for new products that could lower acquisition and operational costs.
