Virtual Iron Software aims to provide enterprise-class solutions for seamless server virtualization and virtual infrastructure management. Established in 2003 under the name Katana Technology, Inc., the company has its headquarters in Lowell, Massachusetts. Virtual Iron Software's platform enables server consolidation, rapid provisioning, business continuity, workload management, and policy-based automation. It offers a virtualization manager for centralized control and automation of virtual resources, as well as virtualization services that can be automatically deployed on bare-metal, industry-standard servers without the need for additional software installation or management.
The platform's integration of open source virtualization, using a hypervisor developed from an open source community project, sets it apart. The company's solutions are primarily utilized in capacity management, virtual infrastructure management, and development and testing. Notably, their most recent Series E investment of $20.00M took place on 29 January 2008 and involved prominent investors including Goldman Sachs, Sapphire Ventures, Highland Capital Partners, Intel Capital, and Matrix.
