EMC Corporation, the world leader in information management and storage, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Leaders” quadrant in the “Magic Quadrant for Midrange Enterprise Disk Arrays, 2H06”(1) report. The report comes at a time when an increasing number of the Middle East’s mid-size organizations are realizing the critical business need to better protect and manage their company’s information assets.
EMC Middle East addresses this market with the EMC® CLARiiON® and EMC Celerra® families of networked storage systems, both of which are based on the new EMC UltraScale™ architecture with end-to-end 4Gb/s Fibre Channel technology coupled with comprehensive protection and management software. The full report, including EMC’s position in the “Leaders” quadrant, can be viewed at http://www.emc.com/news/analyst/magic_quadrant/midrange_diskarrays.jsp.
According to Gartner, vendors in the Leaders quadrant “have the market share, credibility, and marketing and sales capabilities needed to drive the acceptance of new technologies.” A Leader also demonstrates an 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.
“We believe this report reflects the long-standing confidence that customers in the Middle East region and elsewhere have in EMC to develop and deliver economical, high-quality midrange storage solutions that can serve as the foundation of their information infrastructures,” said Mohammed Amin, managing director, EMC Middle East.
“The EMC CLARiiON and Celerra systems incorporate a wide range of unique features and functionality, and give customers better choices to deploy and manage storage, which in the end, can lower cost and increase productivity. We work closely with partners to incorporate these capabilities into complete, easy-to-install and manage solutions that solve our customers’ most pressing information challenges.”
