Platform9, the company making private clouds easy, today announced
that it has been named one of the 10 cool virtualization startups of
2015 by CRN:

"While VMware revolutionized the data center by letting organizations
get more capacity from their servers, Platform9 is going a step further
by making it easier for their customers to take advantage of cloud
efficiencies," said Kevin McLaughlin, Chief Investigative Reporter at
CRN. "And since OpenStack isn't exactly a breeze to set up and maintain,
Platform9 is handling the heavy lifting involved and making it as easy
as possible for customers to get these benefits."
Platform9 breaks the complexity barrier for private clouds with the
first SaaS OpenStack solution for enterprise infrastructure. The
solution transforms an organization's existing servers into an AWS-like
agile, self-service private cloud within minutes -- enabling
organizations small or large to run their private clouds efficiently, at
scale, while leveraging latest open source innovations.
"We're honored to be named one of the coolest virtualization startups
for the second year in a row," said Sirish Raghuram, co-founder and CEO
of Platform9. "Platform9's mission is to transform the private cloud
computing experience -- to make it simple, flexible and open for IT
admins and DevOps alike -- and we're thrilled with the interest and
customer traction we've received since announcing general availability
in January."
