Virtual Iron Software (www.virtualiron.com), a provider of data center virtualization and management solutions, today announced support for new hardware-assisted virtualization capabilities from Intel Corporation. As a result, Virtual Iron users will gain the increased reliability and capabilities of the new Intel platform. Virtual Iron has been working closely with Intel and is already incorporating the new capabilities, called Intel Virtualization Technology (VT), into its product development and roadmap efforts. A demonstration will be shown at Intel Developer Forum being held March 7-9 at Moscone West in San Francisco.

“With VT, Intel is providing built-in architectural support for virtualization,” said Alex Vasilevsky, Founder and Chief Technical Officer at Virtual Iron. “This significantly increases the market opportunity for Virtual Iron by making it easier for more enterprises to take advantage of Virtual Iron’s mainframe-class virtualization and management capabilities on industry-standard hardware.”
