Top Fastest Growing Storage Companies in 2013

We are ranking below the top fastest growing storage start-ups and private companies in 2013. This ranking will be updated when we will get information from other companies.

They are all privately held and about never reveal their sales. But a bunch of them have published press releases demonstrating their growth in percentage of bookings or in number of customers. We have classified here these firms depending on their published growth.

Of course here are missing all the private storage companies that didn’t reveal anything on their financial activity. For two reasons: 1/ they are successful but neglect to inform us about it; 2/ they are not successful and prefer not divulge their bad results.

We didn’t find any public storage companies with more than 50% growth in 2013.

Veeam and Dropbox are probably the biggest ones in global revenue in the ranked firms.

All of them are headquartered in USA but Scality in Paris, France and San Francisco, CA, Zerto in Herzliya, Israel and Boston, MA, Veeam in Baar, Switzerland, and Druva in Pune, India.

Among them, the majority is involved in data protection, cloud and SSD.
