The Week Ending Feb. 24
Topping this week's roundup of companies that came to win is Arris International, which is taking a bold step to expand into the enterprise Wi-Fi arena with its planned acquisition of Ruckus Wireless and other assets from Brocade Communications.
Also making the list are Eaton, with its breakthrough lithium-ion-based UPS systems, IGEL's new cloud gateway product that's set to disrupt the VPN market, Ixia's commitment to direct 100 percent of its enterprise sales through the channel, and CenturyLink, for its greatly expanded channel program and plans to provide partners with products from leading IT vendors.
Not everyone in the IT industry was making smart moves this week, of course. For a rundown of companies that were unfortunate, unsuccessful or just didn't make good decisions, check out this week's Five Companies That Had A Rough Week roundup.
