The 3PAR InServ is an Enterprise-class SAN storage system competing with the EMC DMX, HDS USP and IBM DS8000. Talk about a David versus Goliath scenario. Yet 3PAR has been winning deal after deal. They are making great progress and are becoming that fourth vendor for Enterprise-class SAN storage- just like what Fox did to ABC, CBS and NBC. 3PAR is the Fox of the storage industry.
3PAR can build a billion dollar business just going after the Enterprise market. And in many ways its a smarter strategy then going after the mid-market. The average selling price is higher. They know exactly who the customers are. There are less customers to go after so they can have a direct model that is effective. 3PAR has outlasted the upstarts and has graduated from a startup to an emerging vendor.

The vendors that top the list in our Storage Study have remained relatively stable over the past five waves of the study. 3PAR has nudged their way to the top in recent waves of the study and, with 3PAR's product innovation combined with the end users interviewed citing their plans to remain loyal, it’s not a surprise to see them holding their position there.
