SolarWinds Storage Management A 2010 Quadrant Challenger

SolarWinds(SWI) has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Challengers" quadrant of the "Magic Quadrant for Storage Resource Management and SAN Management Software" report. The Magic Quadrant is a graphical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It depicts Gartner's analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for that marketplace. SolarWinds is placed in this position based on completeness of vision and ability to execute, reports Market Watch.

"'When we entered the SRM space earlier this year, we made a commitment to deliver solutions that effectively address real-world challenges faced in today's storage environments,' said Sanjay Castelino, VP of product management and product marketing, SolarWinds. 'Our most recent Storage Profiler releases have addressed two major hurdles in the adoption of effective SRM solutions for a wide range of businesses -- ease of use and affordability. We are pleased with our placement in Gartner's Magic Quadrant and believe that it is a reflection of our many differentiators, including a large customer base, frequently-released functionality and updates, and our simple and competitive pricing.'"
