Bob Laliberte, analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group:
"Managing heterogeneous server environments, distributed across multiple locations, is demanding for any company, large or small. Belkin delivers a feature-rich solution that allows companies to cost-effectively manage disparate IP-based tools and devices – without having to make additional investment in their infrastructures."
Steve Lewis, Director of Sales with 42U, a leading provider of data center management and efficiency solutions:
"Growing companies and those in the mid-market segment face the same challenges as larger organizations. While other offerings target the large-scale, enterprise IT environment, Belkin really seems to have captured the needs of the medium-sized IT organization. Their HQ offering speaks to the challenges, and just as importantly, to the budgetary constraints of these clients."
