Sangfor Technologies continues to strengthen its position as a Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) market leader, receiving recognition as a “Strong Performer” in the 2024 Gartner Voice of the Customer for Full-Stack Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software¹. This distinction is based on real-world feedback from Sangfor HCI users, which we believe reflects the solution’s ability to meet diverse business needs and provide reliable, high-performance results.
Notably, we received a 100% Willingness to Recommend, standing out for product capabilities and overall customer experience across sales, deployment, and support based on 30 overall responses. This is the fifth consecutive year Sangfor has been recognized in the report, demonstrating our consistent presence in the highly competitive HCI market.

This follows from our recognition as a “Representative Vendor” in the Gartner Market Guide for Full-Stack HCI Software², which we believe reaffirms our role as a key player in the full-stack HCI space.
