Opsware System Wins ServerWatch Product Excellence Award

  
    
  
  
    
      Opsware Inc. (NASDAQ: OPSW), the leading provider of Data Center 
      Automation software, today announced the Opsware System was selected as 
      the winner of the ServerWatch Product Excellence Award in the 
      Infrastructure Tool category. The Opsware System was the only Data 
      Center Automation solution considered for the award. It is the only 
      unified automation suite that works across servers, network devices and 
      storage. Opsware was selected as the winner by thousands of ServerWatch 
      readers who voted over the month of May, taking first place over legacy 
      enterprise systems management solutions including HP OpenView and BMC 
      Performance Manager.
    
    
      In referring to Opsware’s win, ServerWatch 
      states that “…the 
      Opsware System nailed it, picking up nearly one-third of the vote. 
      Opsware System is the company’s integrated 
      product family of infrastructure tools and flagship offering. It 
      automates aspects of deploying and managing applications throughout the 
      ecosystem and provides IT administrators with a unified picture of an 
      application’s complete presence within the 
      enterprise. Recent versions have integrated the needs of virtual servers 
      with the needs of physical servers.”
    
    
      Unlike other automation software available today, the Opsware suite 
      integrates change management, compliance, and process automation all in 
      one, working across servers, networks and, later this year, storage. 
      This seamless combination allows customers to achieve comprehensive, 
      end-to-end automation to a degree that has been previously unattainable — 
      enabling orders-of-magnitude labor and cost savings as well as greater 
      predictability and accountability across IT operations. The Opsware 
      System manages both physical and virtual servers side-by-side, and 
      supports virtually every major server operating system, network device 
      and storage platform — thousands of different 
      technologies and configurations in all.
    
    
      “This win is a clear indication of the 
      outstanding value and immense efficiencies Opsware’s 
      automation suite delivers in managing data centers around the globe,” 
      said Tim Howes, EVP of Research & Development and CTO at Opsware Inc. “In 
      our drive to deliver the zero latency data center, we will continue to 
      provide customers with unrivaled management capabilities and unmatched 
      ROI results as we extend the boundaries of IT automation.”
