BANGALORE, December 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

- International Judging Panel Votes CloudByte as the Best Enterprise Technology Startup

We're thrilled to announce that CloudByte, the technology leader in enterprise storage, has won the 2012 Tech Trailblazer award from emerging markets. We thank all our delighted customers and the judging panel - including eminent technologists from enterprises such as VMWare and Colt, and thought leaders from standard bodies such as SNIA and Cloud Security Alliance - for this honor.

"We believe CloudByte has been leading the technology revolution in storage, making it a lot more intelligent, software-defined, and grid-like. In this context, it is extremely satisfying to be identified as the most innovative technology startup by an esteemed panel of judges at Tech Trailblazer," said Felix Xavier, CTO and founder, CloudByte. "ElastiStor 1.0 is just the beginning of our exciting journey and we look forward to enabling more groundbreaking technologies such as data mobility in our future releases."

CloudByte ElastiStor 1.0 is architected from the ground up for virtualized environments, enabling thousands of applications to be hosted on a single extensible storage platform while delivering tailored storage performance (IOPS, throughput and latency) to each application. CloudByte's fully shared storage allows enterprises and CSPs to reduce their storage costs by 80-90% and drastically lowers their management overhead with on-demand provisioning. CloudByte ElastiStor 1.0 has been recently certified Citrix Ready for Xen Server 6.0 and CloudPlatform 2.x and 3.x.

"On behalf of the international judging panel, I would like to congratulate all the winners of the first-annual Tech Trailblazers Awards.
