Abiquo Recognized by Everything Channel’s CRN Magazine as One of the 100 Top Cloud Computing Vendors

Redwood City, Calif. – March 28, 2011 – Abiquo, the leading Enterprise Cloud Management software vendor, today announced it was named one of the 100 Top Cloud Computing Vendors by Everything Channel’s CRN. The comprehensive list highlights the most innovative cloud vendors and solutions for the channel - including storage cloud offerings, security cloud offerings, cloud apps, cloud infrastructure and cloud platforms to assist solution providers in navigating the cloud phenomena successfully.

“This year’s Top Cloud Computing Vendors award is based on a cloud vendor’s approach to creating an innovative product, or an innovative approach to supporting solution providers in the IT channel,” said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director of CRN. “Specifically, these Cloud vendors help resellers transform themselves into true service providers and help organizations and enterprises take advantage of the ease, flexibility, scalability, elasticity and cost savings that leveraging cloud computing has to offer.”

With Abiquo’s enterprise cloud management software, organizations can manage a globally deployed computing infrastructure, comprising unlimited physical and Cloud resources including private, public and hybrid Clouds through a “single pane of glass.” Abiquo’s solution leads the market with unique features like support for all six major hypervisors, the ability to convert virtual machines from one hypervisor to another, and business policy support, which enforces business rules like HIPAA compliance and data security.

“We are honored to be recognized by CRN as one of the Top Cloud Computing Vendors,” said Wendy Perilli, vice president, global marketing for Abiquo. “We have seen real adoption and use of our cloud management solution in channel markets around the world, and are committed to continuing to provide service providers with a next-generation enterprise management solution to support their cloud service offerings.”
