Posted on: Thursday, 3 January 2008, 09:00 CST

mValent, Inc. (http://www.mvalent.com), a leading provider of automated IT configuration management solutions for managing application infrastructure, announced today that it has been named to Network World's 2007 list of "10 Tech Start-ups That Should Matter." Throughout 2007, Network World, a leading enterprise technology publication, designated 90 start-ups that it deemed worth watching. In its December 24, 2007 issue, the publication narrowed that list to 10 companies that offer critical IT value to the enterprise, including agility, seamless integration and pervasive connectivity.

Network World editors selected mValent and nine other companies in conjunction with leading industry analysts. Their article examines many aspects of mValent including its management team, its primary business, its compelling value, its origins, its funding and its customers. Network World acknowledges that "configuration management is key for optimal performance" and that "automating the detection of changes while modeling the configuration necessary for an ideal application state speeds the process of implementing new application environments".

"We are honored to have been named as one of only ten tech start-ups that matter by Network World," said Joe Forgione, President and CEO of mValent, Inc. "It validates our business focus and our product and underscores the tremendous market acceptance that mValent has experienced to date with our industry-leading automated application configuration management solution."

mValent Integrity enables IT teams to capture the current state of configuration settings for IT assets, monitor them for authorized and unauthorized changes, and automate processes for provisioning changes and setting up new environments throughout the application lifecycle -- from development, testing and through production. The result is greater application uptime, fewer IT fire drills and simplified compliance with industry best practices and regulatory mandates.
