BOSTON, April 14, 2016 – CloudHealth Technologies, the leader in cloud service management, today announced it has been named a “Cool Vendor” in Gartner Inc.’s recently published “Cool Vendors in Cloud Management, 2016” report by analysts Donna Scott, Dennis Smith and Gregor Petri. Vendors in the April 7, 2016 report, including CloudHealth Technologies, were selected because of their unique and innovative approach to cloud management, which enable infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders to manage, govern, and automate their cloud resources more efficiently.

Gartner notes that, “As decentralized IT spending on cloud services continues to grow, I&O leaders face increased urgency to apply centralized governance and management.” The report also notes, “With the rise in public and private cloud computing, infrastructure and operations leaders are investing more in management, governance and policy enforcement.”

Gartner provides recommendations for organizations to advance their cloud management strategies, such as:

• “Evaluate cloud management suppliers on their ability to meet your cloud management functionality, ease-of-use and fast-time-to-value requirements.”
• "Select cloud management tools with a 12- to 18-month ROI (as measured in cost savings or increased agility) for your prioritized set of management requirements.”

“The largest organizations in the world rely on CloudHealth to optimize and govern their cloud infrastructure, and we believe being recognized as a Gartner ‘Cool Vendor’ underscores the value we are delivering to our customers,’” said CloudHealth Technologies CTO and Founder Joe Kinsella. “As companies continue to incorporate new layers of cloud resources and infrastructure, they’re finding it increasingly difficult to manage the chaos the cloud can create. Through a policy-driven approach to governance, the CloudHealth platform eliminates cloud management complexity, enabling enterprises to take back control of the cloud – while typically achieving ROI within the first month or two of deployment.”
