Onaro Wins eWEEK Excellence Award for Enterprise Storage Software
Onaro SANscreen Selected Among Industry’s Leading Players as Top Storage Product
BOSTON, April 11, 2005 – Onaro, Inc., the pioneer of change management software for storage networks, today announced that eWEEK, a Ziff Davis Media Publication and one of the industry’s leading enterprise IT magazines, has named SANscreen® 2.8 a winner in eWEEK’s Fifth Annual Excellence Awards program, in the Enterprise Storage Software category. Onaro was selected among three finalists for the award, which included EMC Corp. and Storage Technology Corporation.
"Through rapid customer adoption of SANscreen, eWEEK acknowledges that Onaro has successfully addressed the greatest pain facing storage managers: changing and growing storage networks without disrupting storage stability and application availability," said Andrew Bird, vice president of marketing at Onaro. "This prestigious award recognizes that automating SAN change management processes decreases the time, resources and risk in managing increasingly complex storage networks, while increasing SAN assurance. SANscreen lets storage staff focus less of firefighting problems and more on strategic initiatives that help the business, delivering value at every level of the IT organization."
The eWEEK Excellence Awards program provides enterprise IT professionals with a benchmark for assessing a wide range of technology products and services. Evaluating the entries this year was a panel of experts including eWEEK Labs analysts and eWEEK Corporate Partners, providing a unique mix of technical and real-world analysis.
The award is the latest in a series of recent, prestigious distinctions that recognize the value Onaro delivers to customers. These include:
- Best in show in Storage Area Network Management Software at the 2005 Network Storage Conference.
- 2004 Product of the Year for Storage Management by Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com
- Top Ten Private Companies in the Winter 2004 by Byte & Switch
- 2004 InfoWorld 100 award for State Street Global Advisors’ (SSgA) application of SANscreen.
"The opportunities created by new technology, and by customers’ interest in new ways of using those tools to do business, are confronting new challenges of security and manageability," said eWEEK Editor-In-Chief Eric Lundquist. "We take pride in offering eWEEK’s readers recommendations for products that respond to these complex and dynamic demands."
Onaro’s SANscreen Monitoring and Predictive Change Management software is used by the world’s leading corporations to manage change and growth in their increasingly complex SANs. SANscreen continuously monitors the SAN, quickly troubleshoots problems, predicts the impact of planned changes before implementation and validates the condition of a SAN throughout changes, migrations and consolidations.
Winners will be honored at a special ceremony on April 26, 2005, at The Westin Copley Place in Boston, Mass. All of the winning products in this year’s program were announced in a special report appearing in the April 11 issue of eWEEK and at www.eweek.com.
