Carpathia CTO Brent Bensten Named to FCW 2014 Rising Star List

DULLES, Va., Oct. 2, 2014  /PRNewswire/ -- Carpathia, a trusted cloud operator and leading provider of compliant cloud services and managed hosting, is proud to announce that Chief Technology Officer, Brent Bensten, has been chosen as one of FCW's 2014 Rising Stars. The Rising Star awards are given out by FCW each year to recognize outstanding leaders who are early in their federal IT careers.  

Bensten, a data center specialist with over ten years of experience in multiple Fortune 500 companies and seven years of experience in federal IT, was chosen as a 2014 Rising Star for his accomplishments in developing Carpathia's relationship with VMware, including leading efforts surrounding the launch of their joint hybrid cloud computing offering called VMware vCloud Government Service provided by Carpathia. This solution leverages Carpathia's decades of experience providing IT services to the US federal government with the best VMware technologies to enable agencies to run legacy and new applications and extend their data centers into a secure and compliant cloud computing environment.

"When high-profile executives leave government or retire from key firms, that gets a lot of press," FCW Editor-in-Chief Troy K. Schneider said. "But you don't hear much about the next generation of leaders that is coming up through the ranks. Individuals like Brent Bensten and the other 2014 Rising Stars are an important reminder that we have great people at all levels in the federal IT community."

Bensten and the other Rising Star winners will receive their awards and be recognized at the October 14 GCN awards gala. Bensten's accomplishments will also be profiled in the November/December issue of FCW magazine and on FCW.com. FCW is the leading publication for the federal IT community, and has been covering the business of federal technology since 1987.
