"Solution providers who design and deploy storage infrastructures deal with a technology where change is the only constant," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "Small businesses and enterprises alike need to safely store, back up, recover and archive data and these Storage Superstars are many of the unsung heroes who have helped invent better ways of doing this. Yet many of these individuals seldom get the recognition they deserve. We congratulate all the 'Storage Superstars,' and are happy to provide an opportunity to shine the spotlight on them."

The 2010 CRN Storage Superstars include a wide range of visionaries from small to large companies. With the CRN editorial team's expertise of the channel and the storage market, this list was created for an industry that has grown up rapidly in the past 10 years. Final selections were chosen based on conversations with vendors and solution providers, as well as a host of other research. The complete listing of the 2010 CRN Storage Superstars is featured in the June issue of CRN Magazine and www.crn.com.
