2011 was another good year for Convirture. This is because of factors both internal and external.

From an internal perspective, we added to our product line, with the launch of ConVirt Enterprise Cloud and continued to deliver a robust management toolset for Linux-based virtual data centers. Our ConVirt Open Source version is being used by thousands of organizations worldwide, while our commercial Enterprise version of ConVirt attracted a wide range of new customers.

Externally, virtualization and cloud in particular are growing forces in IT enterprise and we expect 2012 to be no different. In fact, as hypervisors, whether closed or open source-based, continue on their road to commoditization, management will become even more critical. How vendors help IT staff deal with the inherent complexity as virtual and cloud environments gain acceptance will be a major theme for enterprise computing in 2012.

We’re very happy to be one of the companies leading the way with practical, cost-effective solutions.
