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."
