SAN CLEMENTE, CA—JANUARY 26, 2022— IT Brand Pulse, a trusted source for research, data and analysis about data center infrastructure, today announced the results of 2022 IT pro voting for flash brand leaders. Once a year the independent, non-sponsored surveys asks which vendors are perceived to be the market, price, performance, reliability, service and support, and innovation leader for nine flash-related product categories.
“On-Prem All-Flash Storage-as-a-Service was this year’s most competitive category, where IT Pro voting reflected the success of the Dell Technologies APEX and HPE GreenLake offerings,” said Frankie Berry, Managing Partner and Senior Analyst at IT Brand Pulse. “Survey results also demonstrated the power of halo brand recognition as traditional enterprise storage leaders secured the bulk of IT Pro votes. Notable exceptions were performance and innovation leadership from Pure Storage and MemVerge that helped them stand out from more established competitors.”
