We see this as a phenomenal recognition in the competitive data storage industry. What makes it even more impressive is that, according to Gartner, “The Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice is a recognition of vendors in this market by verified end-user professionals.” To ensure fair evaluation, Gartner maintains rigorous criteria for recognizing vendors with a stellar customer satisfaction rate, so we believe this makes the recognition that much more meaningful.

Cloudian thrives by keeping our customers first through continuous product innovation and deep technology alliances. We’ve never lost sight of the main way customers often start off using our storage—as a ransomware-protected backup target, but we’ve expanded this to containerized storage for container backups through our alliance with Kasten by Veeam. This year has been our biggest yet for pioneering new solutions: For hybrid cloud with AWS Outposts, for AI/ML with WEKA, for data lakehouse with Greenplum, and for sovereign cloud with the VMware Cloud Provider Program.

Thanks to all our customers for taking the time to post these reviews, and for your ongoing support and commitment. Your input helps shape our products and services and has directly led to new offerings like our HyperCare Remotely Managed Service. We look forward to building on the experience that earned us this distinction!

We also want to thank Cloudian’s alliances and resellers; without them, this recognition would not have been possible.
