EDS Recognized as a Leader in European Remote Infrastructure Management in Independent Research Firm Report
PLANO, Texas – EDS today announced it has been recognized as a leader in the European remote infrastructure management by Forrester Research in a recent independent report. The Forrester Wave™: European Remote Infrastructure Management, Q4 2006 (December 2006), evaluated EDS’ expertise in managing servers and mainframes that remain in data centers for the firm’s European clients.
Forrester is a leading independent technology research company that focuses on technology's impact on business. The firm’s latest report evaluated EDS’ current offering and strategy for Remote Infrastructure Management for European companies against 24 criteria, grouped into three high-level areas: Current Offering, Strategy and Market Presence. EDS was selected as a “Leader” and earned the highest score in the Current Offering area.
Forrester cited EDS as “one of the most experienced players in the infrastructure management market,” stating that the global technology services company “unsurprisingly appears as a leading vendor for the remote infrastructure management segment.” For the European market, EDS was noted as having achieved “sustained presence in the remote infrastructure management (RIM) space (that) has allowed it to develop solid geographical coverage and technical capabilities.” In addition, EDS also “manages disaster recovery centers for its clients;” the report stated that it is worthwhile to consider “this as a supplementary service to RIM.” 1
