Now in their 18th year, the Storries are unveiled at a premier storage industry event that recognizes the achievements of key individuals and organizations in the global data storage industry. Selected by readers of Storage Magazine, winners were unveiled at the awards ceremony held in London on October 7, 2021.

The industry recognition that MVS is now getting demonstrates the value it adds to organizations and is a key differentiator for both end users and OEMs. I am quite proud of the CDS team for bringing this value proposition to so many data centers."
