VMTurbo, the leading provider of intelligent workload management software for cloud and virtualized environments, today announced that it has been selected as a Virtualization Trailblazer finalist in the 2012 Tech Trailblazer Awards. Highlighting enterprise startups from all over the globe, the Tech Trailblazers Awards recognizes technological and commercial innovation and entrepreneurial excellence in the areas of big data, cloud, infosecurity, mobile, networking, storage, sustainable IT, emerging markets and virtualization.

“As companies expand their use of virtual infrastructure and cloud services, they require a comprehensive, automated IT operations management solution that does more than just alert them to performance problems. VMTurbo Operations Manager automates the decision making process to prescriptively control how virtual and physical resources are allocated and guarantee workload performance,” said Lou Shipley, president and CEO of VMTurbo. “Being named a finalist for the Tech Trailblazers Awards is a testament to our market momentum and the innovative technology our team has developed to ensure customers are successful in their existing virtualized environments as well as confident in adopting cloud infrastructures in the future.”

Virtualized data centers and cloud infrastructures require a different approach for operations management. VMTurbo delivers a cloud-scale control plane that identifies constraints and automates resource allocation decisions to optimize utilization and meet SLAs. The technology addresses resource contention before problems occur, makes certain that applications have the resources they require, and ensures the infrastructure is utilized in the most efficient way possible.

Voting for the awards is currently open to the public and will continue through December 14. Winners will be announced on Dec. 18 at 6 a.m. PT via twitter and the Tech Trailblazers press room. Vote for VMTurbo here: bit.ly/TfSoHD.
