ServiceMesh Named EMA 2013 Vendor to Watch

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ServiceMesh, provider of the industry's only enterprise-grade cloud management platform, today announced that Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading industry analyst firm, has awarded the company its coveted Vendor to Watch award.  EMA Vendors to Watch are companies that provide unique customer value by solving problems that have previously gone unaddressed. ServiceMesh's Agility Platform was selected for its unique application-centric approach to cloud governance and its ability to automate and orchestrate application environments throughout their lifecycle across private and public clouds.

According to Torsten Volk, Research Director, Systems Management at EMA, "ServiceMesh earned this award for its unique platform that provides the necessary governance layer across the application lifecycle which, in turn, is a key component for any enterprise undertaking the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC). Without this governance and lifecycle management control, it is difficult to ensure SLA-compliance, security, general policy compliance, and performance in a heterogeneous virtualization and cloud environment. The EMA Vendor to Watch award rewards vendors that dare to go off the beaten path to define their own product category and market opportunity. This definition fits ServiceMesh precisely."

"We are honored to be named a Vendor to Watch by EMA," said Eric Pulier, CEO ServiceMesh. "We have worked closely with our Global 2000 customers to centralize and automate the management and enforcement of IT governance across the application lifecycle in order to speed deployment, accelerate code development, and achieve business innovation. This award recognizes our unique focus and exclusive value proposition in addressing these issues through the ServiceMesh cloud management platform."
