Virtual Instruments, the leader in storage area network (SAN) and virtual infrastructure optimisation solutions, today announced a growth in worldwide sales of over 200% in its recently-completed 2011 fiscal year.
The record-breaking results are 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 significantly 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, the company 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.
The company was also commended 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 the success of 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.”
