SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Electric Cloud®, the leader in Software Delivery Acceleration solutions, continues to demonstrate its market leadership in DevOps, announcing today that it was named in Gartner's "Cool Vendor in DevOps, 2013" report. Electric Cloud has emerged as an important innovator in the application release automation (ARA) market, working with customers like Intuit, FamilySearch, Brocade, and CERN.   

The "Cool Vendors in DevOps, 2013" report published on April 10 and authored by analysts Ronni J. Colville, Jonah Kowall, Colin Fletcher, and Jim Duggan states, "DevOps remains a driver for IT organizations seeking agility in delivering applications to the business." The report states "DevOps originated with a focus on continuous integration and delivery," further stating "DevOps success depends on the use of tools to automate and streamline configuration, release, and monitoring processes — along with other processes."

"We are extremely honored to be recognized by Gartner as a DevOps Cool Vendor," said Steve Brodie, CEO of Electric Cloud. "Many software organizations leverage our DevOps and software delivery acceleration solutions to release high quality software faster. We believe this acknowledgement by Gartner is a testament to the value that we bring to our customers, and we look forward to helping even more organizations tackle the challenges of application release and deployment."
