Hybrid Cloud & Infrastructure

The Convergence of Storage and Data: Evolving Infrastructure for Cloud and AI

Data is the lifeblood of a modern business, and the underlying storage technology plays a vital role in delivering it. The storage industry is continually adding more data and application-aware capabilities and services to what was historically a box of storage devices with a network attached. The requirements for cloud applications, and now for AI applications, have blurred the line between storage and data, with more software-defined capabilities bringing innovations as fast as new hardware platforms and capabilities.  

When working on strategy, product, marketing, and sales initiatives, consider intelligence from our expert analysts – planned deliverables for 2026 include:

  • Analyst Insight Report – an analyst report on critical issues facing partner leaders  
  • Futurum Signal Report Access – any Signal Report published in the relevant practice area
