Vistara Extends Support for EMC VSPEX

Vistara LLC announced that Vistara IT
Operations Platform (ITOP), its SaaS-based IT management as a service solution,
has been tested and validated by Brocade
Communications Systems, Inc. for use with Brocade VDX switches.

The validation further extends Vistara’s support for the EMC
VSPEX Proven Infrastructure.

"Vistara ITOP is pleased to expand
the breadth and depth of its support for industry-leading components of EMC
VSPEX Proven Infrastructure solutions, which now includes Brocade VDX switches,"
says Varma Kunaparaju, CTO for Vistara. "The successful testing and validation of Vistara ITOP by Brocade
ensures that our mutual customers will benefit from the simplicity and
ease-of-use that comes from using our SaaS-based IT management as a service
solution to provision and manage their entire distributed IT infrastructure."

ITOP simplifies the adoption and management of cloud-based solutions
and hybrid IT environments by federating the remote management of on-premise
clouds, virtual private clouds, public clouds and IT tools into a single
dashboard. Available as a SaaS solution, it automatically updates and
manages itself so IT professionals can focus on developing and delivering
applications instead of managing them.

"The Vistara ITOP platform
seamlessly interfaces with the automated configuration capabilities of Brocade
VDX switches to further advance the value proposition we deliver with EMC VSPEX
cloud and virtualization solutions," said Jason Nolet, VP of the data center
networking group at Brocade. "The
Vistara infrastructure management and orchestration capabilities exceeded our
testing and validation requirements and enable our channel partners’ customers
to better provision and manage network and storage resources."

Earlier this year, Vistara announced support for VSPEX Proven
Infrastructure and VNX unified storage solutions.

"The successful testing and
validation of the Vistara ITOP platform combined with Brocade’s VDX switches
gives customers transforming IT greater ease in provisioning and managing their
VNX storage infrastructure solutions," said Parmeet Chaddha, VP
solutions, EMC.
