This elite list of
major e-Infrastructure vendor partners represents the cream and heart
of the e-Infrastructure market. Our services to enterprise IT users, most
of which are free of charge to our user members, are only made possible
through the sponsorship and support of our vendor partners, who provide
their support to reach and influence our influential membership. We limit
the number of our vendor partners, in order to be able to give these leaders
good opportunities to join our effective Focus events, and to enable us
to carry out good analyst coverage of their principal offerings. All our
vendor partners participate in our services on the basis that they are
intended to raise market skill, knowledge and understanding of key strategic
technologies, and that this can best be achieved by "no marketing hype"
sharing of knowledge, expertise and practical experience through an independent
analyst firm.
