OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Embotics, a pioneer in cloud management software, today announced that Embotics V-Commander 4.5® was selected as a finalist for a “Best of VMworld 2012” Award in the category of Private Cloud Computing Technologies. This award demonstrates how customers may use this cloud management solution for immediate return on investment (ROI), by being able to install and have fully operational in less than an hour at a cost 50 to 80 percent lower than that of other solutions. Additionally, this award reflects how Embotics V-Commander saves IT administrators time and allows companies to concentrate on strategic initiatives rather than day-to-day user requests.

“Organizations must scale their private cloud deployments at their own pace in order to get the benefits and ROI associated with the cloud”

An independent team of judges consisting of experts and editors from SearchServerVirtualization.com reviewed and evaluated the products according to innovation, value, performance, reliability and ease of use as related to private clouds. Embotics V-Commander 4.5 achieves a delicate balance between must-have automation capabilities and embedded best practices without imposing implementation or complexity taxes. The cloud management solution provides a range of features and functionality to help optimize virtual and cloud data centers, including: automated self-service provisioning (includes a service catalog, workflow automation and chargeback), integrated policy-driven lifecycle management, change and configuration auditing, and capacity and performance monitoring.

“Organizations must scale their private cloud deployments at their own pace in order to get the benefits and ROI associated with the cloud,” said Jay Litkey, CEO of Embotics. “Embotics V-Commander 4.5 helps them do that, and this award reflects the company’s ability to respond to customer needs and modify the solution to the realities of the industry.”
