Enterprise Management Associates’ Impact Brief on Embarcadero ToolCloud Now Available

SAN FRANCISCO – April 13, 2010 — Embarcadero today released Enterprise Management Associates® (EMA™) Impact Brief that describes ToolCloud and its value proposition. The report highlights the advantages of Embarcadero’s licensing and deployment methodologies and provides a snapshot analysis of application virtualization and its impact on businesses.

ToolCloud, released in February, is lightweight on-premise server software that enables administrators to centrally provision and manage Embarcadero tools, set and enforce licensing and access policies, and deploy tools on-demand to users on their network. Embarcadero ToolCloud also offers InstantOn across all Embarcadero products so users can access the full range of tools they need, when they need them, on-demand with zero friction and zero install required on their local desktops.

According to EMA, “ToolCloud is a ‘better way’ to address multiple software administration challenges including:
- License allocation: Better control over tools access and redeployment
- Reporting: Out-of-the-box reports on usage, licenses, users
- Provisioning: Centralized tool delivery on demand
- Tracking: Usage tracking by user and products.

Embarcadero solved these challenges with an innovative distribution model based on leading-edge provisioning technology.”

The author of the EMA Impact Brief, Julie Craig, Research Director for Application Management, wrote, “The overriding benefit delivered by ToolCloud is simplification-- simplified deployment, license management, and version control. All users and licenses can be administered centrally, and deployments can be centrally audited for compliance purposes.”

Craig adds, “Kudos to Embarcadero for doing the research and finding a better way to administer, govern, and deploy software.”
