Top Ten Private Storage Networking Companies: Page 3 of 11

Ding! Ding! Round three! This is it. The update to the Byte and Switch Top 10 List. And there’s no tweaking it this time; we’ve made changes muchos grande. As always, we appreciated and enjoyed your feedback on the last...

Loaded Ride

Our first new entry storms into the number three spot.

DataCore Software Corp. sells virtualization software that allows customers to manage and re-map different physical storage devices into a common pool of capacity, easing the management burden. But there’s nothing virtual about this company’s revenues (rumored to be running at about $30 million per year). While virtualization was the buzzword in 2001, DataCore is one of the few companies out there actually making money from it.

As well as securing $30 million in additional funding recently, DataCore is booking revenue and signing up reseller and OEM agreements faster than McDonalds serves up le Big Mac. Move over Ron!

Opponents say there could be some issues with DataCore’s software running on Windows-only platforms when it comes to selling to large enterprises, as this operating system is not known for its stability. But so far this has
not been an issue for DataCore (see DataCore Lands $30M, IBM Signs Sneaky DataCore Deal, and Hitachi to Resell DataCore?).
