Ottawa, April 21, 2009 — Embotics, the Virtualization Lifecycle Management™ Company, today announced it was named “Best VM Lifecycle Management Solution” by the Virtualization Journal Readers’ Choice Awards. Embotics was chosen over other VM lifecycle management finalists including VMware’s Lifecycle Manager, Hewlett-Packard’s Virtualization Director and PlateSpin’s PowerRecon Virtual Infrastructure Edition, and given the award for its product excellence and commitment to provide maximum value to customers.

The Virtualization Journal Readers’ Choice Awards recognizes the best tools, solutions and education offerings in 18 categories. Winners were selected through reader-submitted nominations, followed by online voting at Virtualization Journal, providers of virtualization news and information. Recognition from readers, who include IT managers and system administrators, further solidifies Embotics’ flagship product, V-Commander, as a technology of choice.

"This year's results show that the future of enterprise IT is promising and reflects commitment to product excellence and to providing maximum value for each IT dollar spent,” said Jeremy Geelan, senior vice president of SYS-CON Media. “Embotics is a great example of the market leading companies that were chosen in this year’s award program. V-Commander displays the innovation our readers are in search of and continues to help companies manage and control their virtualization deployments.”

The requirement for virtualization in the data center continues to increase exponentially, and according to IDC the virtualization services market alone is going to reach $11.7 billion by 2011. The industry demand for tools that automate and control virtual infrastructures, as well as reclaim unused resources and enable increased consolidation will only intensify. V-Commander controls virtual sprawl in real time, providing policy based governance that allows organizations to rapidly grow their virtual environments without creating sprawl and adding unnecessary resources or staff.

“V-Commander has been recognized as best of breed by a number of prestigious organizations,” said Jay Litkey, CEO and founder of Embotics. “But we are especially proud of this award, as it came from customers and virtualizations users, who compared us against other industry products and selected us as providing the most value to them. It is very gratifying, and we would like to thank every customer who voted.”
