Igneous Systems had a lot to prove at Cloud Field Day 8. They had to show the delegates where they fit in the larger IT landscape now that they aren’t a traditional storage vendor. Participation in Cloud Field Day meant they saw themselves as a player in the cloud arena. Cloud can still be a term that’s hard to define especially for traditional enterprise customers. Vendors have been known to bend definitions to suit their needs. Igneous seems to fit somewhere in between traditional on-premises and cloud. Igneous enables enterprise backup on-premises file data to the cloud service provider (CSP) of their choice.
