Vistara Announces First SaaS-Based Cloud Management Solution Validated by EMC Labs

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 12, 2013) - Vistara today announced that Vistara IT Operations Platform (ITOP), its cloud management solution, has been successfully tested and validated as part of an EMC® VSPEX™ Proven Infrastructure solution. Customers can now leverage Vistara ITOP to provision and manage their VSPEX solution and VNX® unified storage platforms. The achievement marks Vistara ITOP as the first VSPEX Labs validated SaaS IT management solution.

"Vistara ITOP's new support for VSPEX Proven Infrastructure and VNX unified storage platforms shows our depth of commitment as a partner of EMC," says Varma Kunaparaju, Chief Technology Officer of Vistara. "The intensive testing and validation we completed with EMC assures our mutual customers will be able to experience the simplicity and ease-of-use that comes from leveraging Vistara ITOP's single pane of glass view to manage their EMC solution alongside all of their other distributed IT infrastructure."

The cloud operations solution of choice for more than 1,100 companies, Vistara ITOP simplifies the adoption and management of cloud-based solutions and hybrid IT environments by federating the remote management of on-premise clouds, virtual private clouds, public clouds and IT tools into a single dashboard. Customers can now use Vistara ITOP to quickly and easily provision their VSPEX converged infrastructure solution and VNX storage as a private cloud. Unlike other converged infrastructure management solutions, Vistara ITOP is available as a SaaS solution, meaning Vistara ITOP automatically updates and manages itself so IT professionals can focus on developing and delivering applications instead of managing them.

"We are pleased to work with Vistara to deploy EMC VSPEX converged infrastructure and VNX unified storage solutions alongside the Vistara ITOP provisioning and cloud management solution," said Parmeet Chaddha, vice president solutions, EMC. "By working together, our mutual customers and channel partners now have another great option to deploy an EMC solution with enriched management and orchestration capabilities."

"As technology continues to converge and adoption of cloud soars, the need for a comprehensive IT lifecycle management solution is undeniable," concludes Kunaparaju. "We're ensuring that Vistara ITOP easily scales to support everything from the core to the edge of the network."
