SAN FRANCISCO, October 13, 2011 – Convirture today released ConVirt Enterprise Cloud – software that manages virtualized datacenters and cloud deployments built on KVM and Xen virtual machines.

ConVirt Enterprise Cloud provides a set of sophisticated tools capable of managing an entire virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single console, including private clouds, hybrid clouds, traditional virtual machines as well as public cloud resources such as Amazon EC2.

“As we developed this product and worked with our beta customers, we kept hearing the same thing again and again: customers are concerned about the potential for complexity, fragmentation and workload management issues that come with adding cloud resources,” said Arsalan Farooq, CEO of Convirture. “Until now, users of KVM and Xen did not have a management layer that provides a unified means of viewing and managing their entire traditional, virtual and cloud-based environments. With ConVirt Enterprise Cloud, IT staff can manage the complex, properly allocate computing resources and deliver real ROI for the organization.”

ConVirt Enterprise Cloud builds on the success of ConVirt Open Source and ConVirt Enterprise, which are currently in use by organizations worldwide to manage KVM and Xen-based virtual datacenters. ConVirt Enterprise Cloud adds management support for private and hybrid clouds side-by-side with the rest of the virtualized environment.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 23, 2011 – Convirture today announced new software that enables enterprises to easily and effectively manage private clouds, hybrid clouds and traditional virtualized infrastructures with a single, sophisticated set of tools.

ConVirt Enterprise Cloud manages virtualized datacenters and enterprise cloud deployments from a single console. It provides full visibility into the datacenter environment and enables fast response to changing business demands by enabling IT administrators to manage the mix of how datacenter resources are allocated between traditional enterprise applications, private clouds and public cloud resources such as Amazon EC2.

“Enterprise clouds are the natural next step in the evolution of the virtualized datacenter and IT staff should be able to manage cloud-based computing resources right along with existing virtual machines,” said Arsalan Farooq, founder and CEO of Convirture. “Our customers are not interested in a ‘rip-and-replace’ approach, which leads to the separation of the infrastructure used to deliver cloud services from the rest of the virtualized environment. With ConVirt Enterprise Cloud, IT staff can build out a virtualized data center in the most flexible and cost-effective way. By managing traditional virtualized workloads side-by-side with cloud operations, ConVirt ensures a holistic view of the entire datacenter and allows IT staff to react quickly to changing business priorities.”
