BakBone Software |
BakBone also made our top 5
storage companies of the year list (out of more than 1,000 companies). BakBone
was #4 on the software list last year. BakBone was identified as one of the
fastest growing storage
companies in 2003, having reported 82% year on year revenue growth.
"2003
has proven to be yet another excellent year of growth for BakBone,"
commented Andrew Unsworth, managing director EMEA for BakBone Software. "We
remain committed to providing customers with the best data backup and recovery
solution for networked storage environments, and naturally, we are pleased to
see our efforts rewarded by STORAGEsearch.com's readership". |

VERITAS Software |
This is the first year in which
VERITAS has not been #1 in this list. We'll have to wait a year to see if that's
just a blip or part of shifting trend. |
| 3 |
FalconStor Software |
FalconStor was #2 last year and
benefited from the emerging interest in iSCSI. But during 2003 a significant
number of manufacturers launched products in the iSCSI market - which may have
meant that FalconStor got obscured slightly the crowd. |
