BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 9 – VMTurbo, the leading provider of intelligent workload management software for cloud and virtualized environments, today announced a record fourth quarter, capping a stellar FY12 with over 300 percent year-over-year growth and demonstrating significant momentum for its flagship product, Operations Manager. In addition to new product releases, new partnerships, and geographic expansion, VMTurbo experienced significant increases in top line revenue, existing customer growth, and new customer adoption across mid-market, enterprise, and service provider market segments.
“Through the course of this year, we have seen virtualization and cloud initiatives continuing to accelerate, with many of our customers on the path to achieving their 80+ percent virtualized goals,” said N. Louis Shipley, CEO of VMTurbo. “This evolution is forcing organizations to take a fresh look at IT operations requirements, existing processes and tools, and operational staff skill sets, which has led many companies to engage with VMTurbo for the first time—or expand on our existing relationship. It’s been a great year, and we believe our success is only the tip of the iceberg.”

About Operations Manager
VMTurbo Operations Manager is the only solution on the market that understands application performance, resource utilization and capacity constraints in a virtualized data center, and is able to automatically adjust allocation to ensure service based on workload priority. While competitive solutions focus on monitoring thresholds, sending alerts for out-of-policy conditions, and relying on operational staff to troubleshoot and remedy issues, VMTurbo Operations Manager delivers greater control by taking a proactive, prescriptive and automated approach to managing workloads.
