SAN FRANCISCO, California, September 2, 2009 InContinuum Software, an innovative provider of software for designing, deploying, and managing cloud-based managed services from virtualized computing environments in public and private clouds, has won the Finalist Award, "Best of VMworld" in the category Cloud Computing Technologies from a field of more than 40 entrants. Judging for the awards was done by a panel of independent judges comprised of industry experts and editors from SearchServerVirtualization.com. The criteria for award selection were innovation, value, performance, reliability and ease of use.

CloudController^® is a management application platform from InContinuum Software that automates and controls the design, deployment and management of both public and private clouds, enabling managed services. The CloudController technology simplifies management of cloud-based resources by allowing all levels of users in an organization from the IT administrator on down to the resource end-user to quickly configure, provision, deploy, manage, modify and monitor public and private clouds as it pertains to their intended use of the resources.

For users in a public cloud managed services environment, CloudController supports multi-tier hierarchical set-up, distribution and use of cloud resources. Private cloud users benefit from the ability to map roles in their IT organization to CloudController, thus automating a broad range of operations management functions. Core to CloudController is a complete back office for payment processing, internal charge-back, support, localization, operations management and deployment.

Corporate IT departments who already rely upon virtualization and those enterprises who are ready to take the plunge into virtualization technologies have the requirement to make more efficient use of their investment in virtualized data center infrastructure in support of their applications. They need a seamless way to integrate their customer-facing and IT operations management to their back office to gain operational efficiency.

"This award is a testament to the hard work our team has put into building the market-leading management platform for simplifying all facets of design and operation of cloud-based managed services in both Public and Private Clouds. We are much honored to have been recognized at this level as there were more than 40 companies competing in the category ‘Cloud Computing Technologies', including most of the well-known enterprise software companies." said Phillip Hyde, CEO and founder, InContinuum Software. "This re-enforces our belief that the strategy we have laid out for automating and controlling VDC clouds is what the market is asking for. We will build on this success and continue innovating."

CloudController is available through an international network of distributors and systems integrators.
