Quality Technology Services Positioned in the Niche Players Quadrant of the 2009 Magic Quadrant for Web Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure Services (On Demand)
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute SUWANEE, Ga.--(Business Wire)-- Quality Technology Services (QualityTech), one of the nation`s largest privately-held providers of data center facilities and managed services, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the niche players quadrant of the "Magic Quadrant for Web Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure Services (On Demand)1". Gartner`s Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors based on their ability to execute and the company`s completeness of vision. QualityTech is honored to be considered for placement in the quadrant. According to Gartner`s report, "Niche Players are typically specialists with more limited product portfolios, or emerging vendors. They may serve one use case particularly well, and may be better than a more generalized vendor in their area of specialty. New and renewing customers of stable, narrowly-focused Niche Players should sign a two- or three-year contract. New and renewing customers of emerging Niche Players whose businesses are still rapidly evolving should buy services on-demand, or on contracts of one year or less. If you are using managed services, be wary of making short-term, tactical choices as it can be inconvenient and expensive to change Web hosting providers." "Since its inception in 2005, QualityTech has been focused on developing and managing technologically-advanced data center facilities. Our focus is and has always been to compete as an industry leader, offering a wide-range of innovative solutions for our customers, maintaining state-of-the-art data center facilities and providing unsurpassed customer service," said Mark Waddington, President of QualityTech. "In my opinion, Gartner`s evaluation and QualityTech`s consideration and placement in the Magic Quadrant outlines a roadmap for us, allowing us to focus on maturing our business and expanding our service offering." 1 "Magic Quadrant for Web Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure Services (On Demand), 2009", Lydia Leong & Ted Chamberlin, July 2, 2009 About the Magic Quadrant The Magic Quadrant is copyrighted 2 July 2009by Gartner, Inc. and is reused with permission.
