Gartner Names Nimbula as Cool Vendor in Cloud Management

Nimbula, a cloud operating systems company, was named as one of the cool vendors in cloud management in Gartner’s (News - Alert) newly published “Cool Vendors in Cloud Management, 2012” report. This comes just after the company’s recent recognition as one of the top cloud enablers gaining mind share in the Cloud Computing Journal and inclusion on CRN’s Coolest Cloud Vendors list.

Recently there has been an increase in deployment of hybrid and private clouds among enterprises and vendors like Nimbula with their innovative solutions can help manage infrastructure resources to deliver service quality, security and availability, as well as workloads, in private, hybrid cloud environments.

Nimbula’s flagship product, the Nimbula Director is stated to be the most cost-effective and secure way to build and manage clouds with global reach and scale. It is capable of taking enterprises and service providers from bare metal to infrastructure cloud in a matter of hours rather than days.

Nimbula Director 2.0, a new version which has released recently offers to fulfill the customer’s expectations. Some of the features of the new version are: extensibility – third parties can offer network, data, PaaS or other cloud services by amplifying the functionality of this cloud platform as it is extensible in nature; VMware Support – Nimbula Director offers the benefits of an EC2-style cloud to VMware customers with its support of the ESXi hypervisor and VMware’s Cloud Foundry PaaS solution; DNS and VPN Services – IaaS networking feature set, which includes DHCP, NAT, firewall and VLAN services, providing a complete set of networking services required for running real world applications; Enterprise Readiness – the only production ready cloud infrastructure solution and is packed with a scalable distributed backend database written in SELinux; and more.

“We are honored to be recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor in Cloud Management. This is a great reward for executing on our differentiated strategy. Rather than building yet another management layer for existing virtualization environments, we set to build an innovative approach to infrastructure management from the ground up focused on ease of use, strong security and scalability,” said Reza Malekzadeh, VP of Marketing at Nimbula, in a press release.
