MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA --(Marketwired - August 29, 2016) - HyperGrid, the pioneer in creating and delivering the world's first and only HyperConverged Infrastructure-as-a-Service (HCIaaS) solution, today announced that HyperGrid and its innovative HyperConverged Infrastructure Appliance (HCIA), have been named a Strong Performer and one of the emerging market leaders in The Forrester Wave™: Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI), Q3 2016 report. In the report, HyperGrid was ranked extremely high in the major axis categories of strength of current offering and strategic vision, ranking higher on both axis than industry veterans, VMware, HPE, EMC and Cisco.
HyperGrid's position as a Strong Performer in Forrester's assessment of the 12 most significant hyperconverged infrastructure vendors was based on the company's performance across Forrester's 28-criteria evaluation, which included such criteria as hyperconverged functions, high performance, ease of operations, and customer feedback.
In their 28-criteria evaluation of hyperconverged system providers, Forrester grouped these criteria into three high-level categories:
-
Current offering, evaluating the capabilities of the current offerings according to a set of criteria.
-
Strategy, assessing each vendor's strategic positioning as a factor of several evaluation criteria.
-
Market presence, indicating the relative ranking of the vendors in terms of their customer installations and revenues.
Forrester identified the 12 most significant providers of hyperconverged systems that, according to them, "mattered most." The 2016 list included: Atlantis Computing, Cisco, EMC, HyperGrid, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Huawei, Nutanix, Pivot3, Scale Computing, SimpliVity, Stratoscale, and VMware. They researched, analyzed, and scored them, the final report showing how each provider measured up and helps infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals make the right choice for their business technology (BT) agenda.
