Avere Named Among 'Important Innovations in 2010' by Wikibon

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Avere Systems, the company setting new performance benchmarks with its Demand-Driven Storage™ solutions, was included among a select list of vendors highlighted for offering the best enterprise infrastructure technology innovations of 2010 in a recent article on Wikibon, a professional community solving technology and business problems through an open source sharing of free advisory knowledge.

Avere was one of 15 companies mentioned by analyst David Floyer as offering outstanding technologies in an article entitled "Wikibon CTO Award for best enterprise infrastructure technology innovations of 2010."  Avere's FXT Series of NAS appliances was selected among the most important innovations of the year for "combining all the layers of storage (RAM, Flash, FC disk and SATA disk) both locally and remotely to create a very efficient global file system."

"To be named among 'important innovations in 2010' alongside industry titans like Apple, EMC, NetApp and Oracle by an organization like Wikibon is a testament to our ability to provide storage solutions that are responsive to the real-time demands and evolution of business," said Rebecca Thompson, VP of Marketing.  "Wikibon identified the Avere FXT Series as addressing key infrastructure trends of data efficiency, NAND Flash and simplicity – areas that are increasingly important to organizations looking for higher-performance storage at an affordable price.  These trends will continue to be highly sought after requirements by businesses in the upcoming year and we are well positioned to satisfy these demands."

To participate in the selection of the Wikibon CTO award, members can post their pick for best technology in the comments section of the article or by emailing Floyer at [email protected].  Winners will be announced later this month.
