FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CSC (NYSE: CSC) announced today that it has been positioned in the “Leaders” quadrant of two Gartner reports, “Magic Quadrant for Data Center Outsourcing and Infrastructure Utility Services, North America” and “Magic Quadrant for Data Center Outsourcing and Infrastructure Utility Services, Europe.” The North American report, published on July 20, reviewed 17 providers of data center outsourcing and infrastructure utility services, specifically looking at their vision and ability to execute these services. The European report, published on July 12, reviewed 13 providers.
According to Gartner’s European report, “Major forces are shaping the worldwide IT outsourcing market and affecting organizations’ data center requirements and the way external service providers design, offer and deliver data center solutions and services. Together, the requirements to increase storage capacity, use high-density computing technologies, cope with rising energy costs, meet environmental concerns, and consolidate for greater efficiency and security often show the limitations of existing physical data centers.”
“We are delighted to be positioned in Data Center Outsourcing and Infrastructure Utility Services in the North American and European Gartner reports," said Russ Owen, president of CSC’s Managed Services Sector (MSS). "We believe our placement as a ‘Leader’, based on feedback from clients, reflects the value we deliver to them every day, while also affirming our forward looking strategies for alternate delivery models, continuous innovation and service improvement."
