Data Mobility Group Announces Partnership to Share Content with RedMonk

Nashua, New Hampshire – Data Mobility Group, a market research and advisory firm specializing in storage and data management, has struck a joint content agreement with RedMonk, an analyst firm specializing in enterprise software and systems platforms. As part of the agreement both firms will combine select research for the benefit of clients.

Effective immediately, Data Mobility Group and RedMonk clients will have access to specially selected research from both firms on a broad range of topics. The deal promises to be beneficial bringing each of the companies added exposure and new customers.

“The storage pendulum is swinging back in the direction of integration with user-facing applications. While this is not a new phenomenon, the difference now is that networked storage is what IT administrators wish to integrate into their applications environments,” said John Webster, Senior Analyst and founder of Data Mobility Group. “Our agreement with RedMonk will add an applications dimension to our research and help our clients better understand this evolutionary change.”

“We are excited to partner with Data Mobility Group,” said James Governor, Principal Analyst and co-founder of RedMonk, “because it’s clear that the enterprise software space is faced with exponential growth in the amount of information to be managed. Whether the problem is regulatory compliance or serving rich digital media, enterprise storage is the foundation of good software solutions. In partnering with the Data Mobility Group, we’ll be able to offer our clients a complete and comprehensive understanding of both the hardware and software products that make up today’s enterprise class data management solutions.”
