Peak 10 Positioned in the Niche Quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Disaster Recovery as a Service

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Peak 10, Inc., a national IT infrastructure and cloud services provider, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Niche quadrant of the 2015 "Disaster Recovery as a Service Magic Quadrant, North America."ⁱ

Gartner defines Disaster Recovery as a Service as the scenario when the service provider manages virtual machine (VM) replication and, optionally, physical machine (PM) replication from the production data center into the cloud, VM/PM activation inside the cloud and recovery exercising within the cloud.

In the Magic Quadrant for this market sector, Gartner analysts evaluated 14 service providers offering Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), based on the criteria of 'ability to execute' and 'completeness of vision.'
