Transformative, channel-friendly, and cutting-edge are just a few of the adjectives the editors over at CRN used to describe the companies they’ve chosen as the cream of the crop – the 2023 CRN Storage 100 List – an honor that recognizes industry-leading storage vendors that deliver the best channel-friendly products and services the industry has to offer.  

According to the publication, the companies they chose for this year’s Storage 100 list have been selected by CRN editors for their “perseverance in pushing the boundaries of innovation through cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships.” 

It’s definitely a difficult landscape to navigate, with too many vendors to count. Luckily, the Storage 100 list is a valuable resource for solution providers looking for vendors that can support them in a complex storage market with industry-leading portfolios in areas such as data protection, management and resilience; software-defined storage, and storage components.  

CRN emphasized that this year’s list also represents the industry leaders of storage technology that can be used for on-premises or cloud deployments. This is a critical point. Resiliency is key in a world where vendors and partners are trying to help customers keep their data safe, unharmed, and always-on across cloud, on-prem, and SaaS workloads…enter Commvault.  

Recognized in the Data Protection, Management, and Resilience category, we offer a simple and unified Data Protection Platform that spans the complete enterprise data estate, regardless of where that data lives. Whether it’s software-defined distributed storage such as containers, a storage appliance like HyperScale?

Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company shared his sentiments about this year’s program, stating, “CRN’s 2023 Storage 100 list recognizes the leading vendors that are delivering transformative advancements in storage technology and bringing modern solutions to customers and solution providers that are built for the future. We are honored to recognize their contributions as the leading players in storage technology for 2023.”
