HotLink
Corporation, the market leader in transformation solutions for
heterogeneous virtualization management, today announced its latest
product, HotLink Hybrid Express for VMware vCenter, was selected as the
“Best of Show” award winner as well as the Gold award winner in the
“Virtualization Management” category at TechTarget’s “Best of VMworld
2012” awards. The judges chose this product “because it gives
administrators a way to manage mixed environments using vCenter -- a
tool that every admin knows how to use.”
Launched on August 14, 2012, HotLink Hybrid Express simplifies the
management of hybrid clouds through a VMware vCenter plug-in for Amazon
EC2 and CloudStack resources — no other management consoles are
required. The only solution to natively extend VMware
vCenter to public clouds, VMware users can consolidate deployment,
administration and management of all on and off-premise resources with a
single pane of glass — VMware vCenter. HotLink’s unique transformation
technology abstracts public cloud platforms and workloads so VMware
vCenter treats them just like vSphere hosts and VMs, fully integrated
and managed as a unified pool of resources.
Utilizing customers’ existing VMware vCenter management infrastructure,
HotLink Hybrid Express accelerates the process of deploying a combined
on and off-premise hybrid infrastructure from weeks to just a few hours.
“We’re extremely excited that HotLink Hybrid Express is being recognized
by some of the industry’s most knowledgeable experts for its ability to
simplify the management of hybrid resources,” said Lynn LeBlanc, CEO and
Founder of HotLink. “This award validates how important hybrid computing
is to the industry as well as the innovation and ease of use HotLink is
providing with HotLink Hybrid Express.”
The Best of VMworld 2012 awards winners were selected from more than 200
entries by an independent team of experts and editors from TechTarget's
SearchServerVirtualization.com who evaluated products based on
innovation, value, performance, reliability and ease of use.
