STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gartner, Inc. announced today the 2018 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software. The Peer Insights Customers' Choice is a recognition of vendors in this market by verified end-user professionals, taking into account both the number of end-user reviews and the overall user ratings.
The Data Center Backup and Recovery Software market is focused on providing backup capabilities for the upper-end midmarket and large-enterprise environments. Protected data comprises data center workloads, such as file share, file system, operating system, database, email, content management, customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and collaboration application data.
Backup and recovery software products provide features, such as traditional backup to tape, backup to conventional random-access media or devices that emulate the previous backup targets, data reduction, array and/or server-based snapshot, heterogeneous replication and continuous data protection (CDP).
"Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice is designed to help IT professionals make better purchase decisions by leveraging the knowledge and feedback by fellow verified end users," said Ken Davis, executive vice president of Products and Services at Gartner. "We work hard to ensure that all of the reviews are submitted by an IT professional or business user who has had experience purchasing, implementing and/or using the enterprise solution they are reviewing — free from conflicts of interest."
The list of companies selected for the 2018 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice is included in Table 1. More information on the 2018 Customers' Choice is available at https://www.gartner.com/reviews/customers-choice/data-center-backup-and-recovery-software.
