NetApp in Gartner ''Leaders'' quadrant

BANGALORE: Gartner, Inc. has positioned Network Appliance, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant for midrange enterprise disk arrays, the storage solutions provider said in a statement today.

In its newly released research note, Magic Quadrant for Midrange Enterprise Disk Array, 2H06, Gartner states, "A midrange enterprise disk array storage vendor in the Leaders Quadrant has the market share, credibility and marketing and sales capabilities needed to drive the acceptance of new technologies. It demonstrates understanding of market needs, is an innovator and thought leader, and has well-articulated plans that customers and prospects can use in designing their storage infrastructure and strategies."

"Network Appliance believes that technology leaders have the responsibility to continually drive business value through applied innovation," said Tom Georgens, executive vice president and general manager of Enterprise Storage Systems at NetApp.

"Where some vendors see 'markets,' we see thousands of individual organizations-each with its own set of unique business challenges-struggling to efficiently manage the vast amounts of data in their growing enterprise environments.

Our high-performance SAN solutions were specifically developed to transform technology into a competitive advantage by increasing reliability, simplifying maintenance, and reducing storage infrastructure complexity."
