Hedvig Recognized by Gartner as a 2016 –Cool Vendor– in Storage Technologies

SANTA CLARA, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/28/16 — , the company modernizing storage and accelerating enterprise adoption of private and hybrid clouds, today announced that it has been named one of this year–s “Cool Vendors in Storage Technologies” by . This recognition, coming just a year after Hedvig emerged from stealth, we believe highlights the growing importance of the software-defined infrastructure market for IT administrators and large organizations.

Each year, Gartner identifies “Cool Vendors” in key technology areas and publishes a series of research reports evaluating pioneering vendors and their products and services. According to the “Cool Vendors in Storage Technologies, 2016” report, “many organizations are evaluating technologies that will drive efficiency, such as higher-performing and more automated storage, cloud-based solutions, and data management and backup and recovery products that allow for proactive problem avoidance and increased resource utilization and optimization.”

“We launched last year with a mission to challenge traditional storage approaches, which we believe fall flat when faced with the velocity of change in today–s businesses. Over the past year we–ve made significant progress and have provided our customers with a solution that can keep pace and deliver the most complete, most flexible software-defined storage platform on the market,” said Avinash Lakshman, founder and CEO of Hedvig. “We–re honored to be selected as a Gartner Cool Vendor and will continue to provide enterprises with the type of modern storage solutions that today–s dynamic market demands.”
