The report highlights its Virtual Storage Platform One Object (VSP One Object) for strong scalability, efficient capacity utilisation, and advanced data reduction capabilities tailored for large enterprises.

The GigaOm Radar evaluates enterprise object storage platforms based on technical performance, innovation, and business impact. With organisations increasingly handling large volumes of unstructured data and adopting AI-driven workloads, scalable and resilient object storage has become central to modern data infrastructure strategies.

Industry experts also highlighted the company’s unified data platform approach, supported by continuous innovation and an evolving product roadmap aligned with market needs.

Object storage is increasingly moving beyond archival use to support high-performance applications such as data lakehouses, large-scale analytics, and AI training pipelines. Features like native S3 Tables enable structured data access within object storage, reducing the need for data movement while simplifying analytics workflows.

VSP One Object forms part of the broader VSP One platform, which integrates block, file, and object storage across on-premises and cloud environments.
