200% Growth in FY11 for Virtual Instruments

Virtual Instruments announced a growth in sales of over 200% in its recently-completed 2011 fiscal year.

It’s the result of strong demand for the VirtualWisdom real-time monitoring solution and the SANInsight Fibre-optic TAP Patch Panel systems which, together, give customers the ability to measure, analyse and optimise the performance, availability, and utilisation of their SANs and virtualised infrastructures.

In EMEA Virtual Instruments has also expanded its vertical presence, with the addition of telecommunications and retail joining its traditional target markets of financial services, manufacturing, government and healthcare.
 
During the last six months, Virtual Instruments has continued to expand its market reach, with sales to new Global 500 customers more than doubling its portfolio compared with the same period last year. Some of the new customers relying on VirtualWisdom include: two very large retailers, two major insurance companies, and two national stock exchanges.
 
Since January 2011, the company has garnered four industry awards that are validations of the Virtual Instruments’ virtual infrastructure optimisation solutions. These include the recent inclusion of the company in the Red Herring 2011 Top 100 North America list, which recognises the 100 most innovative privately-held companies across North America and the "Enterprise Project of the Year" award given by Data Center Solutions Magazine to Virtual Instruments’ customer Unilever for its SAN consolidation and optimisation initiative based on the implementation of the VirtualWisdom solution.
 
"We are ecstatic that so many Global 500 enterprises have turned to Virtual Instruments to help control capital and operating costs associated with their ever-expanding data centres," said John W. Thompson, CEO at Virtual Instruments. "VirtualWisdom is rapidly becoming an essential performance and availability optimisation solution as larger enterprises more aggressively deploy virtualisation and migrate to private cloud environments."
