BLADELOGIC RECEIVES STRONG ACCOLADES FROM LEADING INDUSTRY PUBLICATIONS
Leading Provider of Data Center Automation Software Cited as a "Top 10 Hot Company to Watch" by Federal Computer Week and "Rising Star" by Computer Reseller News
Waltham, MA, September 19, 2005—BladeLogic, Inc., the leading provider of data center automation software, today announced that it has recently received accolades from two leading industry publications. Federal Computer Week (FCW), a leading publication that provides integrated coverage of government, business, and technology issues for government IT decision-makers, named BladeLogic a "Hot Company to Watch" for 2005. In addition, BladeLogic was named a "Rising Star" by Computer Reseller News (CRN), the leading publication for Solution Providers and Technology Integrators.
FCW's "10 Hot Companies to Watch" list features products and services vendors that have targeted hot niches and have been rewarded accordingly by the federal market. In the corresponding article, FCW Editor John Moore states "BladeLogic's Operations Manager product helps agencies automate changes such as application updates, software patches, and configuration upgrades" and notes that "BladeLogic has quickly established a federal foothold for its data center automation product."
BladeLogic was also featured in CRN's inaugural "Star Search" edition. CRN selected BladeLogic for its Rising Stars list based on several factors, including "cool factor" and uniqueness of the company's technology, customer references, financial soundness, channel savvy executive management team, and partner ranks. In a profile accompanying the list, CRN Editor Larry Hooper states "BladeLogic is growing revenue and headcount by more than 100 percent a year and has significant presence in the 100 largest companies in the world."
"Over the past year BladeLogic has invested in a strong presence in the federal and channel markets," said Dev Ittycheria, President and CEO, BladeLogic. "Being named to FCW's 10 Hot Companies to Watch and CRN's Rising Stars lists is gratifying since these accolades signify awareness of our outstanding performance in these important business sectors.
