Gartner Puts Symantec in the Leaders Quadrant
Gartner, an information and technology research and advisory firm, has positioned Symantec in the leaders quadrant in the 2008 Magic Quadrant for Email Active Archiving. The Magic Quadrant is a graphical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period.
According to Gartner, Symantec’s intelligent archiving platform, Enterprise Vault, stores, manages, and enables discovery of corporate data from email systems, filer server environments, instant messaging platforms, and content management and collaboration systems.
Gartner also reported that the email archiving software market grew 33 percent in 2007 to reach USD 376 million and it also anticipates a compound annual growth rate of nearly 36 percent until it reaches USD 1.72 billion by 2012.
“In my opinion, Symantec is in the leaders quadrant and remains the only market leader because of our ability to execute and meet the present customer demands around managing email and unstructured information effectively, so discovery is quick and complete,” said Francis deSouza, senior vice president, Symantec Information Foundation, Compliance & Security Management.
