As 2013 draws to a close, it concludes a transformational year for Flexiant. We were named Gartner Cool Vendor in cloud management in the first half of the year. In the latter half called the ‘magic unicorn of cloud’ by 451 Research.

Top 13We launched the fourth version of Flexiant Cloud Orchestrator aimed squarely at helping service providers’ increase profit, revenue and growth from cloud services. We have now opened our platform to make it easier for service providers to develop and create new services right for their business.

We also announced our product roadmap which includes our future support for OpenStack. We believe OpenStack has maturing technology to offer the market, but unfortunately does not meet business requirements. We plan to solve the business challenges associated with the open source cloud management solution.

As we head into 2014, we will continue to see the emergence of new entrants operating at scale through resellers and enterprises preparing for mass migration to cloud service providers.
