Veeam reveals cloud storage use patterns: Azure and AWS for bulk, IBM has ardent fans, Google has … not much

Average cloudy data stash hits 15TB and and median value tripled to over 3TB

Data management software vendor Veeam has offered a snapshot (pardon the pun) of how its customers put different public clouds to work.
Senior vice president Anton Gostev's weekly missive to the Veeam community yesterday detailed how the November 2020 version 10 release of the vendor's software changed customer behaviour.
Gostev reported that of the five largest object storage repositories tended by Veeam, three were in Azure blob storage, on was in on-premises S3-compatible storage and the other was in Amazon S3. These individual object storage repositories were also five times larger than those Veeam had seen before, and ranged from from 1.8PB to 1PB.

NetApp has confirmed it is closing down the standalone Advanced Technology Group (ATG) – an incubation unit that was part of the office of the CTO and once described as the "ideas factory".
ATG, which sources said was the closest thing NetApp had to an internal lab, has fallen foul of this week's expenses purge that will see 5 per cent of the 11,000-strong global workforce leave the organisation.
In a statement, NetApp said: "In our realignment of our resources at NetApp, we are changing our approach to advanced technology and our industry standards body participation.

NetApp boss George Kurian has confirmed a guidance-beating 5 per cent revenue jump for Q1 of its fiscal '21 – while also admitting to chopping the same percentage of staff in layoffs, as first revealed yesterday by The Register.
The CEO said cuts had been made in areas "not particularly aligned to our go-forward priorities" and confirmed staffers at scale-out, all-flash storage platform SolidFire were among those hit, noting a shift by the company to core enterprise usage.
"We are narrowing our focus with the SolidFire and HCI portfolio to the high-margin parts of the market," said Kurian.
