"Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) increasingly require robust, integrated and flexible marketplace and orchestration software to deliver multi-tenant and hosted private cloud solutions that integrate with customers' existing IT infrastructure. Ensim's continued investment in enabling hybrid Active Directory deployments, Microsoft's unified communications portfolio and service management of Office365 and Microsoft Azure addresses the strong demand from CSPs who are looking for solutions that can assist them with launching new cloud services and new hybrid-cloud capabilities," said Scott Ottaway, vice president of services research at 451 Research.

"Ensim works closely with Microsoft to support their latest offerings and provide outstanding support for their growing portfolio of cloud technologies," said David Wippich, CEO, Ensim. "We are enthusiastic to enable service providers and enterprises around the world with a comprehensive solution to cost-effectively provide multi-tenant and dedicated offerings to their customers and users via self-service portals that take complex offerings and enable them for cloud service commerce."
