SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - April 7, 2009) - Sonoa Systems, Inc., an innovative
provider of analytics, management and governance solutions for cloud
services and APIs, today announced they have been positioned by Gartner,
Inc. in the visionaries quadrant of the "Magic Quadrant for Integrated SOA
Governance Technology Sets(1)."
According to the report, "SOA governance technologies, much like any other
set of technologies, are striving to address needs beyond the SOA realm.
Process governance, governing cloud interactions and interactions with
business partners (brokerages), are on the radar for most technology
providers."
While cloud computing has
introduced great freedom both to the providers and the consumers of cloud
services, companies looking to monetize their services need to address many
surrounding issues before proceeding into the open cloud. Sonoa's solution solves these
challenges head on and provides the governance policy and process
enforcement necessary between companies and their cloud providers for
control, visibility, scale and compliance in the cloud.
"Based on the strong, growing demand for our cloud gateway solution, it is
clear that there is a great need in the market for cloud governance
solutions, especially as more companies view cloud computing as a business
imperative," said Chet Kapoor, CEO of Sonoa Systems. "We believe placement
in the Gartner Magic Quadrant reflects the momentum Sonoa has built with
our customers and partners as a direct result of listening and responding
to their challenges when managing content and interactions in the cloud."
