IDGs InfoWorld Names CohesiveFT As one InfoWorld's Top Tech Startups for 2008
CHICAGO, Illinois - May 22, 2008 - CohesiveFT announced today that IDG's InfoWorld, the leading integrated media brand for IT decision makers, has selected it as one of InfoWorld's Top Tech Startups for 2008. This honor is part of InfoWorld's Top Tech Startups special feature available at www.infoworld.com.
InfoWorld's Top Tech Startups for 2008 highlight 10 companies founded no earlier than 2005 that are developing promising new technologies or using existing technologies in new and innovative ways.
CohesiveFT's solutions enable customers to build and manage custom applications for virtualized infrastructure. The on-demand service, the Elastic Server Platform, simplifies the process of creating application stacks or "Elastic Servers" for use in virtual environments. Elastic Servers are built from libraries of components and then automatically configured to run in any virtual environment. Custom servers can be built in minutes and automatically loaded to virtual environments running under technologies such as VMware, Xen or Parallels, etc., or they can be deployed straight to commercial clouds such as Amazon's EC2. Web based tools make it easy to build virtual machines, manage virtual image templates, maintain the requisite component libraries and users' own private provisioning portals.
"This award means a lot to the team at CohesiveFT. It is both validation of the innovation we have delivered in our Elastic Server platform, and given the trusted brand of InfoWorld in the world of IT decision makers, it is a signal of confidence to the next wave of virtualization and cloud computing adopters,". said, Pat Kerpan, CohesiveFT's CTO.
"InfoWorld's Top Tech Startups for 2008 is an honor roll of 10 young companies whose business-oriented technologies should be on your radar screen," said Eric Knorr, editor in chief of InfoWorld. "We've focused on the metric we at InfoWorld know best: great technology."
