MONROE, La., Jan. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CenturyLink,
Inc. (NYSE: CTL) has received the Frost & Sullivan 2018 Product
Leadership Award for its innovative Cloud Application Manager
hybrid cloud management platform, whose dynamic capabilities
deliver added value by aligning IT teams around workloads and
business initiatives as they pursue their digital transformation
goals. Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting firm,
lauded the platform's unique ability to simplify and enable
multi-cloud environments by offering fast and cost-effective
management, optimization and managed services capabilities without
lengthy contracts.
"To achieve product leadership is never an easy task, but it is
one made even more difficult considering today's competitive
intensity, customer volatility, and economic uncertainty – not to
mention the difficulty of innovating in an environment of
escalating challenges to intellectual property," said Karyn Price, senior analyst, Frost &
Sullivan.
CenturyLink's Cloud Application Manager helps companies automate
application deployments, scale workloads across disparate operating
environments, and optimize costs over time as part of their digital
transformation efforts. The platform is designed to deliver a wide
variety of infrastructure options across diverse public and private
cloud environments. These benefits are available in a self-service
model, or one that is actively managed by CenturyLink team
members.
"When we launched Cloud Application Manager, our goal was to
align operations, development and finance inside enterprise IT
without obscuring the differentiating features that make certain
cloud environments the best execution venue for a particular
business workload," said David Shacochis, vice president of
hybrid IT product management, CenturyLink. "Since then, our
customers have achieved significant operational benefits, and
become more cloud-enabled across their development, operations and
finance groups. We're excited to see this type of recognition from
Frost & Sullivan and look forward to continued success with our
multi-cloud management platform."
