Strange one here. This has been previously nominated at AfD for spam and notability issues, but that nomination was withdrawn after the nominator announced that he was satisfied with sources that had been added. I don't think they cut the mustard.

The tone is still advertising and deliberately uninformative sales patter:

....a U.S. information technology company, provides infrastructure performance management solutions that deliver real-time visibility for virtualization initiatives.
...comprehensive approach to IPM delivers continuous tracking of performance and dependencies of all the critical components comprising the IT infrastructure, including servers, network, storage, applications, end devices, and their end users in real time and scalable to millions. Xangati presents this information for both the virtual and physical infrastructures in a single dashboard.

The business notability guideline is not satisfied by the present sources. The "Wall Street Select" reference is a press release. (Hint: the first management solution to provide live, to-the-second visibility into all communications across both the virtual and physical worlds means this isn't an independent source.) It was announced to be a finalist in a minor trade award that doesn't appear to be for anything specific (recognized for outstanding achievement in innovation, performance and value). Another is a routine announcement of financing. The two independent writeups are in techie newsletters hosted at Network World without wide readership outside of IT departments. I see little better.

delete non-notable. as per by nom, refs are mostly press releases. those that aren't are from content farm style PR publications like network world, and are clearly puff pieces. also, some of the refs support merely trivial statements, e.g. that the company is located in cupertino, whereas other, much more weirdly spammy sentences, are not referenced at all.

Delete Not finding reliable third party references. tyvm Pudge MclameO (talk) 04:30, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article is several years old and has little useful content, and is basically unsourced promotional type writing. Content appears to be written with only 2 goals: promotional, and to try to keep it in Wikipedia; nothing with the readers in mind. Wp:notability is a possibility, but there's no real content to be lost if it gets deleted pending possible rewrite that has content and establishes notability.
