Nutanix, a hybrid multicloud computing provider, announced that it has been named a Visionary in the Gartner October 2022 Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object Storage. This is the company’s second year in a row to be recognized in this report. Nutanix attributes this recognition to its strong product vision, which is aimed at meeting enterprises’ demand for more simple and secure ways to manage and natively protect their data.

“New applications are the lifeblood of competitive advantage and customers simply don’t have time to plan, manage, and secure separate block, file and object platforms,” said Lee Caswell, SVP Marketing, at Nutanix. “We believe this recognition by Gartner exactly captures how our consistent operating model for files and objects challenges storage norms and captures the imagination of new high-capacity storage users who may or may not use our well-known hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions.”

Nutanix Unified Storage offers unified management of Nutanix Files, Nutanix Objects, and Nutanix Volumes, as well as Nutanix Data Lens, a data security and analytics solution that assists users in detecting, responding to, and recovering from ransomware and other cyber-attacks. Nutanix Unified Storage adds software-defined, server-based value to high-capacity file, object, and block use cases that would otherwise necessitate proprietary NAS and SAN systems. By eliminating siloed storage systems, Unified Storage is gaining traction with customers in the public sector, healthcare, and financial services, allowing storage administrators to focus more on application services and less on infrastructure.

Nutanix continues to improve its Unified Storage offering, most recently adding new ransomware protection features to Nutanix Files and Nutanix Data Lens to help businesses better protect themselves against ransomware attacks. This complements the Nutanix Cloud Platform’s native platform hardening, security auditing and reporting, and network threat protection, which are all critical components of implementing a Zero Trust approach to security.
