MILPITAS, Calif., Oct. 31, 2016
(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, SGI (NASDAQ:SGI), a global leader in
high-performance solutions for compute, data analytics and data
management, announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc.
in the "Visionaries" quadrant of the October 2016 Magic Quadrant
for Integrated Systems.
SGI believes the move to the
"Visionaries" quadrant, since last year's position within "Niche
Players," represents a progression of SGI's completeness of vision.
According to Gartner, "'Visionaries' are typically vendors that are
focusing on strong innovation and product differentiation, but are
smaller vendors with limited reach or achievement to date, or
larger vendors with innovation programs that are still
unproven."
Integrated systems are defined by
Gartner as "combinations of server, storage and network
infrastructure, sold with management software that facilitates the
provisioning and management of the combined unit."
The report notes that, "the
integrated system market is outgrowing other data center segments,
but the growth has been stabilized. According to Gartner statistics
(see 'Market Share Analysis: Data Center Hardware Integrated
Systems, Worldwide, 2015'), in 2015, integrated system sales grew
11.2% over 2014, totaling $9.6 billion, constituting approximately
5.6% of all server, external controller-based storage and data
center networking spend by the end of 2015."
