I am curious about the happenings in the Data Protection Market. Last week, Cohesity as listed as the Gold winner with Rubrik and StorageCraft as honorable mentions. This week it looks like Cohesity is gone and Rurik and StorageCraft are "co-winners". Also it seems Rubrik's version changed from 3.0 to 2.3. Can any details be provided about what happened in this category?

Nick Martin - 14 Sep 2016 10:12 AM

RichardHarrison,

You're right, the names appearing on this page have changed since we first unveiled the winners. Rather than rehash the details in a comment, I think this blog from Cohesity best helps explain the situation: http://cohesity.com/blog/won-gave-best-vmworld-gold-award-single-week/

The Rubrik product version number was a clerical error on my part that we corrected. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to me at bestofvmworld@techtarget.com

uh - this changed again. Rubrik is no longer listed as a winner.

What gives?
