Embotics, the Virtualization Lifecycle Management™ Company, has been nominated by the
Virtualization Journal Readers' Choice Awards for the Best Virtual Machine (VM) Lifecycle Management award. Embotics' flagship product V-Commander 2.0 is successful at helping enterprises reduce risk and costs by automatically managing and controlling virtual machines throughout their lifecycle.
The Virtualization Journal Readers' Choice Awards recognize the best tools, solutions and education offerings in 18 categories. Winners are selected through reader-submitted nominations, followed by online voting at Virtualization Journal, the world's leading source of virtualization news and information. The voting for Virtualization Journal Readers' Choice Awards is now open. Winners will be announced at the Virtualization Conference & Expo 2008 West, November 19 - 21 in San Jose, Calif.
Virtualization platforms facilitate the deployment of VMs but require a significant amount of manual effort when it comes to management, which inevitably leads to a state of VM sprawl. V-Commander combats sprawl, operating in real time to provide operational oversight and policy-based control simultaneously across multiple VMware Virtual Centers. This practice improves operational efficiency, cuts back on valuable time and expenditures and eliminates the risk caused by "unauthorized" VM deployment.
Enterprise CIOs, CSOs, IT operations staff and security professionals continue to recognize the need for virtualization as they evolve their server and data center consolidation processes. Embotics' V-Commander prevents virtual sprawl and provides enterprises with the unique combination of insight, control, automation and integration that IT environments require. Recently, Embotics announced V-Scout, a free product complementary to V-Commander, that eases the job of IT administrators by replacing commonly used manual tracking spreadsheets, with automated data collection and extensive on-demand reporting.
"Embotics quickly established itself as a leader in the virtualization management space and remains committed to providing enterprises with added-value to their virtualization environments with tools that allow for control, manageability and automation," says Jay Litkey, CEO of Embotics. "This nomination is great recognition of our efforts to ease the minds and pockets of our customers. Voters should note that with the accelerated adoption rate of server virtualization, Embotics is providing enterprises with the control necessary to expand their use of this valuable technology and maximize on the business gains."
