Convirture Reports Strong 2011 as Virtualization Management Takes Off

Convirture announced its fifth consecutive quarter-over-quarter growth, including increasing its customer base ten-fold for its commercial product, ConVirt Enterprise. The company now has clients in every global region, including North and South America, EMEA and Asia. The open source version of ConVirt has now been downloaded more than 60,000 times. In total, ConVirt software, which is available for most major Linux distributions including Debian, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu, is now being used by more than 8,000 businesses.

"Linux-based virtualization is here, it's real and evidently there is an appetite for something other than VMware when it comes to managing cloud computing and virtualization technologies," said Arsalan Farooq, CEO of Convirture. "As KVM and Xen continue to gain traction with enterprise clients, we expect to see even faster growth through 2012."

Progress Noted with Award and Certifications Convirture earned an 'Innovations in Information Innovation ' Golden Bridge Award for Best Virtualization Software last August.
