Lexington, MA, March 26, 2007—BladeLogic,
Inc., a leading provider of next-generation data center automation
software, today announced that the latest version of its software
solutions, BladeLogic Release 7, has won the 2007 Data Centers
Europe Most Innovative New Data Center Software Product award.
BladeLogic received the award in a special ceremony held on March
22, 2007 in London, as part of the 3rd Annual Data Centers Europe
event.
The 2007 Data Centers Europe Awards are the first European-based
awards dedicated to providing a platform to raise awareness of
the importance of data center management and automation in Europe
and to facilitate an independent reference point for excellence
in this sector. BladeLogic Release 7 received the award due to
its innovative functionality and the value creation it provides
to European enterprises, service providers and government organizations.
“Data center management is an extremely hot topic as enterprises
throughout Europe try to gain control over their rapidly expanding
IT infrastructures,” said Nicola Hayes, vice president at
BroadGroup, organizer of the 2007 Data Centers Europe event. “As
the largest regional gathering of leaders and decision makers
in the data center management sector, the Data Centers Europe
event connects the enterprise to the data center, and the awards
provide commercially valuable benchmarks. We are very pleased
to name BladeLogic Release 7 the winner of the 2007 Most Innovative
New Data Center Software Product award due to the breadth and
depth of its functionality and its track record at large IT organizations
of improving IT service quality and reducing operations costs.”
BladeLogic Release 7 offers a new data center management paradigm
by allowing organizations to synchronize all configuration management
activities across disparate IT teams performing different management
actions through BladeLogic’s next-generation Synchronous
Management architecture. By enabling the use of dynamic, multi-functional
policies that link specific people and teams to explicit infrastructure
components and the precise management actions they are authorized
to perform, BladeLogic Release 7 ensures provisioning, configuration
management and compliance management actions are not made in isolation,
but in context of the overall needs of the business. The end result
is dramatically improved IT service quality, reduced operational
costs, better compliance to policies and greater flexibility to
respond to an ever-increasing rate of change in the data center.
“We have been able to build a large stable of blue-chip
European customers by providing tremendous business value through
innovative technology,” said Luca Lazzaron, vice president,
EMEA, BladeLogic. “We are very proud to be recognized by
Data Centers Europe as an innovator and leader in the data center
management sector. On behalf of all the BladeLogic employees in
Europe and around the world, I am very pleased to accept this
prestigious award.”
