Top Fastest Growing Storage Companies in 2021

Kasten by Veeam, Clumio, Vast Data, Alluxio and LucidLink at 300% and more

This article is regularly updated when we will get more information from other companies.

Yearly since 2013, we are ranking the top fastest growing storage companies in sales, ARR or bookings, either start-ups, private or public firms, here from 2020 to 2021 (calendar year or fiscal year), based on published figures only.

They are public or privately held and, for the private ones, as usual, they do not reveal the exact figure of their sales but growth percentage only.

In 2021, 4 public companies deserved a position in our ranking: Silicon Motion, SK hynix, Micron, Phison, Macronix and Backlaze. No one in 2020.

One company recorded 500% growth in 2018, Rubrik,  Weka 600% in 2019. For 2020, 1,113% by Rewind is an historically record,  then 900% by Kasten by Veeam in 2021.

Here Kasten by Veeam with 900% is followed by Clumio 450%, Vast Data 380%, Alluxio 350%, and LucidLink 300%.

Of course, we missed all the private storage companies that didn’t reveal anything on their financial activity. For 2 reasons: 1/ they are successful but neglect to inform us about it; 2/ they are not successful and prefer not divulge their results.

Note: Other companies could be probably included in this table of fastest growing storage firms in 2021, but they didn’t prove it by publishing precisely their yearly growing figures: Cloudian, GridGain Systems, HYCU, Lightlibs Labs, Nakivo, Qumulo, Storage Made Easy, Tintri/DDN.

Among all of them, the vast majority is involved in software, cloud and flash.
