Facts and Views 2019
• Facts and Views 2019 from 30 vendors*1. By far, everything about Cloud (multi, hybrid, public, private, on-premises, repatriation, cloud-
native)
2. Object storage and S3 (private, public)
3. NVMe and NVMe over Fabrics
4. Various SaaS dynamics – Security – File Storage
5. AI
• Available at http://pn7.fr/0895D4D8
• But also 42 acquisitions (HPE/Cray, DDN/IntelliFlash & Nexenta, Nvidia/Mellanox, Opentext/Carbonite, Commvault/Hedvig, AWS/E8… list on http://pn7.fr/16E6B256)

A bit of Predictions for 2020
• Predictions from 50 vendors*
1. Without any surprise, cloud arrives #1 in various flavors (multi, hybrid, on-premises, private, cloud-native and we choose to add the edge in that category)
2. New devices and connectivity around Flash, NVMe(-oF), SCM/PM, QLC
3. Kubernetes of course and containers
4. Analytics and AI
5. Object storage
