Zenoss Inc ., the leading provider of unified IT monitoring and management solutions for physical, virtual, and cloud-based IT, today announced that Zenoss' comprehensive cloud monitoring solution, Zenoss Service Dynamics, is an Editor's Choice recipient in the 2014 Virtualization Review Reader's Choice Awards.Virtualization Review is the first and only print publication solely devoted to IT virtualization and cloud technologies. The 2014 awards are chosen by the readers of Virtualization Reviewand presented to vendors in 16 categories ranging from Mobile Virtualization and Cloud Storage to Business Continuity and Virtualization Automation.
"There was a lot of consolidation this year, but there were quite a few new companies who emerged from stealth mode and debuted new products and services, showing that there is still room for innovation in this technology segment," said Virtualization Review Editor in Chief Michael Domingo. "VMware might have looked like the readers' champion, but it has a lot to do with the solid work they've done with every product line. Still, some of the categories came close and we expect them to give VMware some true competition next year."
E-mail invitations were sent to Virtualization Review readers in October 2013 to vote on more than 400 products. Responses were collected during a two-week period. A team of editors reviewed the results to ensure that they legitimately came from our readers. Vendors were excluded from the voting process nor were they, in anyway, allowed to solicit votes.
"We are delighted to be recognized by the editors of Virtualization Review for our Cloud Monitoring capabilities," said Bill Karpovich, CEO & Co-Founder of Zenoss. "Virtualization Review has selected a group of high-caliber companies within the virtualization and cloud computing technology space. We are honored to be included among these innovative companies."
Virtualization Review is the leading vendor ecosystem advocate, and the Reader's Choice Awards and associated Buyer's Guide provide a great resource for IT organizations working to optimize their virtual environments with advanced, innovative solutions.
The winners are highlighted in the December 2013/January 2014 issue. A downloadable PDF of the article is also available at: http://virtualizationreview.com
