mValent to Present June 25 Webinar on How to Help Cure 'Server Sprawl' from Virtualization with Configuration Management

Featured Distinguished Researcher at Leading IT Analyst Firm to
Share Latest Insights on How to Manage Virtual Environments by
Automating Change and Configuration Management
WALTHAM, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
mValent, Inc. (http://www.mvalent.com), a leading provider of
application configuration management solutions, today announced it
will co-host a webinar with HP entitled, "Curing Virtualization
Headaches: How Data Center Automation Tools Help," featuring guest
speaker Ronni Colville, VP Distinguished Analyst with Gartner. This
live presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 2 p.m.
ET / 1 p.m. CT / 11 a.m. PT.

Colville will share Gartner's latest insights and actionable
advice on how configuration management and data center automation
tools can cure many of the headaches caused by server sprawl due to
virtualization. Ms. Colville's presentation will be followed by brief
overviews from representatives of co-sponsors mValent and HP.

"Planning and performing server configuration management in the
virtual server world will have to take into account new dynamics that
did not previously require attention in the physical environment,"
explained Ronni Colville Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst and Cameron
Haight, Gartner Research VP in the March 2008 Gartner report entitled
"When Servers Go Virtual: The Impact on Configuration Management."
Gartner recommends that companies "purchase configuration management
tools that can directly address the nuances introduced by a virtual
server infrastructure."

"Virtualization saves time, money and increases efficiency in IT
operations," said Jim Hickey, Chief Marketing Officer, mValent, Inc.
"However, by making the deployment of new servers as easy as copying
and pasting, virtualization has greatly exacerbated the challenge of
ensuring configuration consistency across server environments. mValent
Integrity software picks-up where other solutions leave off, allowing
virtualization to be extended up the stack by automating change and
configuration management across virtual environments. Regardless of
how many hundreds of virtual servers exist, mValent manages and
provisions changes and configurations throughout an enterprise
environment, maximizing the performance of IT assets running atop the
hardware layer - virtual or not."
