Gartner Selects Hyperic as “Cool Vendor”

Gartner’s “Cool Vendors in Cloud Computing Management and Professional Services, 2009” report by analysts Milind Govekar, Cameron Haight, David W. Cearley and Lydia Leong references Hyperic as the vendor to talk to about your cloud management initiatives. Gartner’s report states that key innovation in cloud computing management will be provided by startup vendors.

According to the report, published on March 17, 2009, “cloud computing is becoming one of the most visible sourcing option for infrastructure and operations professionals. I&O professionals, thus, must be aware of how they will manage this environment from an availability, performance, disaster recovery and service aggregation point of view”.

The Gartner research report suggests IT operations organizations that are using cloud services provided by Amazon or Google should consider Hyperic products to monitor this environment. In addition, development teams desiring to better understand the performance of applications being designed for the cloud should investigate Hyperic’s offerings. We couldn’t agree more. To access the report, you’ll have to talk to Gartner first.
