Cloudnexa,
an industry-leading cloud managed services provider that helps clients realize
the full utility power of cloud computing, today at the Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Summit in San Francisco, announced the general availability of its next
generation vNOC cloud management platform. vNOC enables customers to completely
automate and consolidate management of all of their cloud environments with a
single view and real-time reporting.
Cloudnexa's
vNOC Management Platform is a key component of the first utility-priced managed

requirement for today's cloud users. vNOC enables users to create and manage a
trusted cloud computing environment containing a virtual network, instances and
storage via workflows and governing policies.
