Most Promising Storage Start-Ups in 2012
27 December 2011 - Editor's annual updated choice of top 15
For the second year we are ranking the top 15 most promising storage start-ups. It's not easy to classify storage start-ups as they are involved in completely different technologies (basic hardware and subsystems, de-dupe, cloud, archiving, etc). But we did it. This ranking is the result of the opinion of a journalist - not a consultant or an expert - following daily the worldwide storage industry considering of course the technology of each company, but also their most recent financial rounds of funding and their growth when available. Anybody else trying to the do the same ranking will get different results.
