Embotics Cloud Management Blog

If the cloud is growing a bazillion percent each year why haven’t more enterprise apps migrated?

It’s been quite the past few months for Embotics, with the vCommander platform being recognized as a Leader in the first Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Management Platforms. To continue the momentum, we are excited to share that our vCommander platform was named the best cloud management solution of 2019 as part of the SIIA CODiE Awards, our second time receiving recognition from this prestigious award.

Cloud tech is evolving faster than ever and somehow you have to keep on top of it all.

New tech is introduced to solve legacy problems and typically promises speed, efficiency or cost savings. There is great value to be had with cloud native tech such as microservices, containers and infrastructure as code.

The goal of a CMP is to systematize your team's expertise and remove the complexity of interacting with dozens of cloud services.

The cloud management industry has undergone a pretty radical shift in recent years. Here at Embotics, we like to think that we’ve taken a leading role in the industry in pushing cloud management platforms forward. You may recall our announcement last year when we launched the first the industry’s first truly next-generation cloud management platform – one built for automation, orchestration and governance of both traditional and new microservice-based applications while facilitating DevOps.

Today is a pretty big day for us here at Embotics. As you may have seen, Gartner this week released its first-ever Magic Quadrant for Cloud Management Platforms [1]. We are thrilled to see that Embotics was positioned in the leader quadrant in Gartner’s inaugural snapshot of the CMP market. It’s certainly an exciting way to kick off the new year!

We are not surprised to see Embotics named as a leader – it’s a position that each employee here works hard every day to reinforce. Some of the largest companies across the world with the most complex hybrid cloud environments rely on us to automate provisioning and enable self-service capabilities across private, public and hybrid cloud infrastructures, and this recognition goes a long way to show us we’re doing a pretty good job at it.

Being a cloud administrator is hard work.

And if you’re reading this, I probably don’t have to tell you that.

More and more, end users rely on computing resources and services to do their jobs effectively – which can be a challenge (not to mention a time-suck) for system administrators. 

The way enterprises do business is changing. With the emergence of microservices, companies are able to bring innovative products to market faster and more cost effectively than ever before. Cloud services have evolved from back-end services used to support the business to critical components of enterprise strategy to create differentiation and drive the business forward. Businesses today need to deliver features, solutions and services more rapidly than ever before.

Different management needs can and will surface at different phases in your hybrid cloud journey, and it can be easy to attempt to satisfy these requirements through the purchase of individual “tools.” But because there is a large amount of interaction and inter-dependency between them, starting with any standalone tool is not recommended. What’s needed is an integrated management system. One that's extensible so you can simplify your cloud journey.

Over the past few weeks in this space, we’ve spent some time writing about some of the ways that the cloud market is evolving, and how those evolving dynamics impact multicloud environments and how we approach and serve enterprises trying to manage those environments.

In this space recently, we talked about the evolving cloud market and how some shifting dynamics are affecting multi-cloud environments and the way we as a company approach the organizations operating in those environments. We talked about the death of greenfield selling and the rise of DevOps.
