back to article Gartner, Gartner, on the wall? Who is the fairest IT backup biz of all?

Gartner geeks have issued another rapturous rectangle, otiose oblong, or even a queer quartet of spell-binding squares to do with enterprise backup software and integrated appliances.

      DING DING DING! We have a winner. It's all nonsense. Businesses pay to get where they are and Gartner says they are wonderful. Not making this up. A shop I was at was poorly rated. They paid Gartner to review, and suddenly they were in the magic quadrant.
