Gartner’s Magic Quadrant report evaluates vendors on their ability to execute – which includes service and support, market share and financial health, among other criteria – as well as their completeness of vision, which includes breadth and functionality of offerings, successful implementations and ability to meet customer requirements now and in the future.

According to Gartner, Leaders for the data center outsourcing quadrant demonstrated significant depth and breadth of experience and an understanding of the dynamics needed to successfully deliver services.

In March, HP was listed in the “Leaders” quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for data center outsourcing in Western Europe.(2)

“We are very pleased to be positioned in the leader quadrant by Gartner in the data center outsourcing industry,” said Steve Smith, senior vice president, HP Services. “As data center outsourcing is often the cornerstone of IT outsourcing deals, and as data privacy, security and compliance issues often determine how comfortable clients are in outsourcing their data centers, we feel this news further reinforces our position as a top-tier outsourcing provider.”
