Vistara Announces Growing Customer Adoption for Cloud Operations Solution

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 25, 2013) - Vistara announced today that its Vistara IT Operations Platform (ITOP) solution is now the cloud operations solution of choice for more than 1,100 companies. Valued by customers for its ease of use and rich functionality, Vistara ITOP enables faster adoption of cloud-based solutions and hybrid IT environments by integrating the remote management of on-premise clouds, virtual private clouds, public clouds and IT tools.

"The Vistara platform is one of the core components of our company's Cloud Management as a Service (CMaaS) offering," said Ron Dupler, CEO of GreenPages Technology Solutions, a $130 million national IT consulting and integration organization headquartered in Kittery, Maine. "It provides unparalleled visibility into, and control of, physical, virtual and cloud resources through a single pane of glass -- crucial for organizations to effectively manage modern hybrid cloud environments."

Offering an intuitive interface and single pane of glass dashboard, Vistara ITOP has proven its ability to simplify IT automation and performance reporting, saving companies operational expenses and technical resources. It also seamlessly integrates with leading cloud hosting services, hardware devices, virtualized solutions, applications and operating systems, making it ideal for blended IT environments.

Vistara ITOP lets administrators view and manage their entire distributed IT infrastructure within a single user interface, making it perfect for enterprises with multiple branch offices, remote service providers, and distributed data centers. It is the only broad solution of its kind to be offered as a comprehensive SaaS solution, meaning Vistara ITOP automatically updates and manages itself so IT professionals can focus on developing and delivering applications instead of managing them.

"Enterprises today need to innovate quickly and leverage massively distributed human and cloud infrastructure resources. They need to ensure rapid time to resolution regardless of where a problem occurs," says Varma Kunaparaju, Chief Technology Officer of Vistara. "Modern IT organizations have to do things differently to maintain technical and business advantage, and a SaaS approach to comprehensive IT services in hybrid environments helps them do this."

Gartner Inc. forecasts that cloud IT operations management will have a compound average growth rate of 41.3 percent from 2011-2016.¹ A recent Gartner report authored by Thomas Bittman further confirms the growing market demand stating, "Client interest in building the capability to leverage external cloud services interoperably with a private and/or on-premises cloud (in a hybrid mode) is growing.²"

"The global marketplace is seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to demand for an interoperable cloud management solution that can remotely and accurately manage everything from the core to the edge of the network," concludes Kunaparaju.

Vistara ITOP is now available as a service in the U.S. and Canada. For more information, visit http://www.VistaraIT.com. For a free trial of Vistara ITOP, visit http://www.VistaraIT.com/tryit/.
