Skyport Systems is Named a 2017 Cool Vendor in Compute Platforms by Gartner

Skyport Systems, a leading secure hyper-converged infrastructure provider for the hybrid enterprise, today announced it has been named a Cool Vendor in the "Cool Vendors for Compute Platforms, 2017 report by Gartner (News - Alert) Inc., the world's premier information technology research and advisory company. The report evaluates interesting, new and innovative vendors, products and services in the hyper-converged integrated system space.

Organizations don't want to spend the time and resources to build, integrate and maintain the infrastructure for their business and at the same time the cloud is not appropriate for all applications. Skyport is unique in the company's ability to deliver the cloud management experience to on-premises Hyper-converged Infrastructure. Skyport's systems are completely cloud managed with zero on-premises management infrastructure. In addition, Skyport has taken convergence further by offering a complete software defined datacenter "in a box", including server, storage, and networking and security controls completely integrated to ensure a superior user experience.

"Skyport is honored to be named a Cool Vendor by Gartner and feel this recognition is due to all the hard work and innovation our team has poured into creating a novel and impactful approach to enterprise infrastructure," said Art Gilliland, CEO of Skyport Systems. "Organizations spend too much time focused on the establishment of a secure platform to run their business. Skyport's cloud-managed, hyper-converged systems deliver a powerful and simple platform to run, manage and protect the organization's important systems at a cost that is up to 40% less than the current approach - our customers think that is cool too."
