What drives multiples in Cloud Storage

Cloud storage multiples reflect competitive intensity from hyperscaler native storage offerings, which creates pricing pressure on pure-play vendors. Companies that command premium multiples have differentiated through compliance-grade features, content collaboration workflows, or API-first developer ecosystems that make storage a platform rather than a commodity.
