Technical Insight: Container-Native Storage Vendor Landscape

Container-Native Storage (CNS) is a type of Software Defined Storage that runs in a container on nodes of a Kubernetes cluster. CNS virtualizes physical storage devices on each node to create a shared pool of capacity that all containers running on the nodes of a Kubernetes cluster can use. CNS turns a Kubernetes cluster into a scalable infrastructure that provides persistent storage.

The following products allow the transfer of container pods between Kubernetes clusters on-premises and in the public cloud, and between multiple clouds. This is different than SAN-attached or direct-attached storage systems that use a container storage interface (CSI) driver that make their features and capacity available to containers but do not integrate with Kubernetes. CNS products include storage services such as snapshots, deduplication, compression, thin provisioning, replication, encryption, quality of service, etc.

This document provides a snapshot of the products in the CNS market today. You can find more technical detail in the Evaluator Group’s Comparison Matrix.  Additional context is available in Evaluator Group’s CNS Fundamentals and CNS Key Considerations Technical Insights documents.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
