5. EMC
EMC over the years has acquired several storage vendors and done a good job of keeping those vendors' products up-to-date with customers' changing environments.
The resulting wide range of applications EMC now offers, along with sales of its market-leading storage hardware and a channel program second-to-none, continues to impress solution providers.
EMC's offerings include the former Legato product line for a wide range of customer needs, Retrospect for small business users and Avamar's data deduplication technology.
EMC' storage hardware sales also give it the ability to sell storage software that works with the hardware's unique characteristics to handle many of the backup and recovery operations.
