Announcing the 2026 State of Cloud Data & Storage Benchmark Survey

Cloud data is more important than ever. Organizations are relying on it to power AI, analytics, and mission-critical workloads — and storage strategies are evolving to keep pace. To help IT and data leaders understand the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping cloud data growth, we’re launching the 2026 State of Cloud Data & Storage Benchmark Survey.
