The History Boys: Object storage ... from the beginning

Next next next gen object stores

Ridiculously late to the party.... oops!

Even more entries in the mix now in 2021 with ONTAP and OneFS having S3 adaptors added to them, and in the world of software-defined I see Nutanix too has a s/w defined object solution on their platform (lots more features than I expected) - plus Azure's Blob is another public cloud object solution to look at (Azure mentioned in article but not Blob specifically)

Also found this which is interesting https://www.gartner.com/reviews/market/distributed-file-systems-and-object-storage

Pure: Let's be direct about attached storage. Hyperconvergence is not for us

HCI will never take off...

... for sizeable environments (or words to that effect). Really? The fact that Pure are not in the server business (the physical building blocks of HCI) means they aren’t really in a position to deliver HCI, so I guess their only available move is to play that whole hyperconverged market down. NetApp, the other notable out-n-out storage company are at least having a stab at it. Ok, whether their offering is actually HCI is... er, debatable... but at least they aren’t trying to bury their customers’ heads in the sand.
