VKernel is a Cool Vendor in Server Virtualization Management, Says Gartner
Gartner, an independent research firm, has named VKernel Corporation, a provider of easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy virtual appliances for managing virtual server environments, as a “Cool Vendor in Server Virtualization Management, 2008.”
According to the report, the rapid deployment of virtual-server technology is resulting in increased demand for tools to provide more-effective planning and oversight. As organizations scale their virtual infrastructures with velocity, new solutions are needed to solve new management challenges. VKernel is changing today’s cumbersome systems management approach with tools that are optimized to save overburdened IT departments time with virtual appliances that quickly deploy, require no learning curve, and instantly solve critical issues in virtual data centers.
Gartner's definition of a "Cool Vendor" is a small company that offers technologies or products that are:
• Innovative — they enable users to do things they couldn't do before.
• Impactful — they have or will have business impact. It's not just "technology for the sake of technology."
• Intriguing — they have caught Gartner’s interest or curiosity in the past six months or so.
“It is great market validation and an honor to be named as a Gartner Cool Vendor,” said Alex Bakman, founder and CEO of VKernel. Bakman further added that the VKernel Virtual Appliance Suite for Systems Management is a set of “plug-and-play” virtual appliances designed to quickly address real world systems management challenges as organizations migrate to VMware ESX virtual environments.
VKernel is currently offering a Chargeback Virtual Appliance for gaining cost visibility and implementing chargeback, and a Capacity Bottleneck Analyzer Virtual Appliance for identifying and eliminating capacity bottlenecks. Recently, VKernel also received industry recognition from Network World when the company was named as one of seven virtual management companies to watch in 2008.
