VaraLogix Named in '10 IT Companies to Watch in 2011'

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VaraLogix®, the emerging leader of Enterprise Application Deployment solutions, today announced the company has been named in the list of "10 IT Companies to Watch in 2011."  Robin Bloor, President and Co-founder of Bloor Group, compiles the list each year and is a leading technology analyst, speaker and influencer in the IT industry who specializes in the analysis of software technology and the monitoring of technology trends.  Bloor's commentary on his "10 IT Companies to Watch in 2011" blog entry states, "VaraLogix is a company with pedigree. Its development team includes the authors of Build Forge, a start-up from a few years ago, which established itself quickly and was promptly acquired by IBM. VaraLogix's product Q is also related to Build Forge. While Build Forge focused on automating the version build process for software developers, Q focuses on automating the deployment of applications into the data center and the maintenance of the associated configuration information. VaraLogix addresses a genuine data center need and hence will most likely follow the same growth trajectory that Build Forge did."  VaraLogix Q, automates the deployment of business critical web applications and ensures they are deployed correctly to any environment in your infrastructure. Bloor's complete list of top companies to watch can be found online at http://www.thevirtualcircle.com/2011/01/10-it-companies-to-watch-in-2011/.

"IT organizations are under pressure to control costs and deploy more web applications faster to very complex environments," said Tim Wall, VaraLogix CEO and co-founder. "Being included on Robin's list of 10 IT companies to watch in 2011 is great recognition ... it's a testament to our technology innovation, our ability to address enterprise application deployment from an IT business perspective and the experience of our team."  

VaraLogix continues to gain recognition from industry analysts for the company's unique approach to automating enterprise application deployment.  In November, 2010, Judith Hurwitz, president and CEO of Hurwitz and Associates commented, "Enterprise application deployment is a critical issue facing enterprise IT organizations. IT needs a well designed approach to delivering complex applications no matter what delivery model they apply. This is the approach that VaraLogix is taking to the market."

You get a repeatable, standardized process and you know the application tested in QA is the exact same application deployed to Production.
