US-based comms market specialist Infonetics Research has appointed former Alcatel-Lucent strategist Clifford Grossner as Data Center and Cloud Analyst.

Founded in 1990, Infonetics Research provides market research and consulting services to the communications industry, and specializes in tracking emerging and established technologies in all world regions.

Grossner (pictured) joins with more than 20 years’ experience in technology and market analysis, corporate and product strategy, product management and marketing, and scientific research. Most recently, he headed strategic marketing at Alcatel-Lucent’s Enterprise Network Business Unit, prior to which, he held a range of senior positions in the information and communications technology industries, including tenures at Bell Labs, Sesame Networks, NewStep Networks, and Nortel. He has also worked as a research scientist and faculty lecturer at McGill and Concordia universities.

In his new role, Grossner leads Infonetics Research’s data center and cloud computing coverage, authoring quarterly market share and forecast reports, surveys, and opinion pieces on data center networks, storage area networks, cloud services, and software-defined networks.

CEO J’Amy Stewart comments: ‘Cliff’s strong enterprise data center background and more than 20 years of product management and marketing experience with telecom vendors big and small will help us take our data center and cloud coverage to a deeper level. In fact, he’s already set in motion plans to expand our coverage of enterprise software-defined networking (SDN) and cloud services.’
