近日，权威市场分析机构?Gartner?发布首个中国区软件定义存储竞争格局报告：Competitive?Landscape:?Chinese?Infrastructure?Software-defined?Storage?Vendors(以下简称?“报告”)。
??报告涵盖了?SmartX、华为、新华三、浪潮等共计?9?家在中国?iSDS(基础设施软件定义存储)市场竞争的本土厂商，并重点对?SmartX?等?4?家专业?iSDS?产品厂商(Pure-Play?iSDS)的竞争能力进行了分析。
??SmartX?凭借自主研发的存储核心、领先的技术与产品特性、金融等行业用户的高复购率，以及对超融合、存算分离和容器化部署场景的广泛支持，在块存储场景获得?Gartner?重点关注和肯定。
?
??Gartner?对?SmartX?的介绍如下：
??自?2013?年成立以来，SmartX?以自主研发的分布式存储为业内所熟知，公司率先以超融合架构向客户交付软硬件产品与服务，并于?2019?推出了可独立部署的分布式块存储产品，以满足大型企业计算存储分离部署的需求。
??目前，SmartX?拥有超融合(SMTX?OS?超融合软件及一体机)、分布式块存储(SMTX?ZBS?分布式存储软件及一体机)、容器原生存储(IOMesh)三大核心产品线，并向网络和安全领域拓展，帮助客户构建企业云基础设施。
??Gartner?对?SmartX?竞争力的主要评价如下：
??产品具备更高性能和稳定性：SmartX?的产品以自主研发的分布式块存储?ZBS?为核心，超融合产品的主要竞争力在于其稳定性和高性能。通过引入?NVMe-oF?和持久内存等技术，SmartX?产品相较于业内同类产品能提供更高性能。
??支持超融合、存储分离、容器原生多种架构：SmartX?产品为本地私有部署提供数据服务并支持所有主流的块存储业务应用。IOMesh?专门为容器环境中的有状态应用(例如数据库)设计，能够提供持久化存储服务。
??金融、制造、医疗等行业客户大量部署，复购率高：ZBS?已经在多个行业中部署，并在金融、制造、医疗行业中积累了大量客户。客户的高复购率不仅对其技术实力的最佳佐证，也增加了客户对其在?iSDS?等产品线的信心。
??构建了广泛的生态体系，支持鲲鹏、海光、飞腾平台并实现方案落地：SmartX?构建了一个相对广泛和开放的生态系统，与从操作系统、虚拟化到云管平台的多家厂商都有合作。在本土处理器支持方面，SmartX?已经完成了与鲲鹏、飞腾和海光等平台的兼容性认证，并在客户的生产环境中进行了部署。
??实现国内销售网络覆盖与海外市场拓展：除了在金融等大型行业进行直接销售外，SmartX?还建立了覆盖全国的分销渠道网络，并通过和硬件厂商和解决方案提供商密切合作，拓展边缘领域的新兴机会。SmartX?也在积极拓展海外市场，并赢得了亚太和?EMEA?等地区的客户。
??报告还对杉岩、XSKY?等厂商进行了评价，并分析了国内?iSDS?市场的现状与发展趋势，可点击阅读原文，获取详细报告解读。以下为?SmartX?相关部分报告原文：
