Springtime Top Ten: Page 5 of 17

So far, InterSAN has announced one revenue-generating customer: financial services company Northern Trust Corp. InterSAN officials say it has a number of Fortune 500 companies evaluating the product, and it hopes to close that business this quarter.

There are a host of other startups and public companies chasing this space, so InterSAN will have to work its socks off to stay above the fray (see Policy-Based Storage).

Its closest rival right now appears to be CreekPath Systems Inc. (see CreekPath: SAM It Am). But this former storage service provider (SSP) has yet to announce any customers, so InterSAN has the edge, at least for now.

Swooping back up to No. 2 is BlueArc Corp., recovering from a plunge to the subterranean depths of No. 8 in former weeks.

Are we just pinging this company up and down for fun, or has it actually done something to deserve this rollercoaster ride?
