In Gartner's 'Market Share: Network Attached Storage/Unified Storage, Worldwide, 2009' report released recently, NETGEARNETGEAR has emerged as among the top six vendors in business NAS market across the globe, following an examination of the company's total revenues and units shipped in 2008.Gartner estimated that the company has taken 23 percent of the market share in terms of revenues for vendors with solutions priced at less than USD 5,000; while among vendors with solutions priced at less than USD 25,000, it has ranked third with a revenue growth rate in excess of 127 percent.

Today, storage is an integrated part of the networks, and we are proud that we have been successful in providing SMB customers and channel partners with the most advanced and reliable, networking and storage platforms in the industry."
