VirtualSuite is a comprehensive suite of products that extends the power and benefits of a virtualized environment. VirtualSuite's advanced sensor technology enables IT organizations to maximize their virtual machine resources and provide the data necessary for performance monitoring, capacity management, resource optimization and service metering while enabling integration with third-party infrastructure management solutions.

The Virtugo Partner Program provides comprehensive implementation, integration, consulting, and support services for organizations that have qualified to resell Virtugo's proven virtualization management solutions. The new partners joining the program include: Sigma (UK), VirtualizeIT (UK), JMC (Germany), SoftSelect (Africas), Carahsoft (Federal), Asilysys, Foedus, Fariway Consulting, and Blackhawk Consulting.

"Virtugo Software's VirtualSuite is the easiest-to-deploy and most efficient solution available on the market today, and is designed to solve the rapidly growing virtual server management problem plaguing most data centers," said James Price, president of Fairway Consulting. "Our customers have been blown away by its performance to date and as our customer base expands, we expect to continue to deploy Virtugo's solutions with the same results."

"Over the last few months our top 10 partners have seen 100 percent sales growth for Virtugo's products and we predict this trend will only accelerate over the next 18 months," said Chris Dickson, vice president of marketing at Virtugo Software. "Our network of elite partners will continue to be a key driver of our business by providing an ideal channel to reach businesses that require virtualization management solutions to support their critical applications and processes."
