Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is a culmination of research in a specific market, providing a view of the relative positions of the market’s competitors by applying a uniform and neutral evaluation criteria among other things.

To be included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Tools, RACKWISE, Inc. was selected as one of only seventeen companies out of a very broad field of over one hundred vendors that self-identify as being DCIM providers. Gartner’s review process, which involved several months of research to complete, included reviews of baseline inclusion criteria, marketing strategy, sales model, current product features, product roadmap, product and service pricing model, as well as customer interviews.
