Virtualization Software Tool Provider Invirtus Makes Changes

Invirtus, a third-party virtualization solution provider creating applications to assist with efficiency and automation of virtual machine technology, continues to make changes to its management team to help push their technology and company forward.

Back in May of this year, it was quietly reported that the company had been acquired by the much larger software company, Quest. The amount of the acquisition wasn’t disclosed, however, the company is coming out in full force with future products and is arming themselves with new management.

Since the acquisition by Quest, Invirtus has been joined by virtualization industry expert, Scott Herold as Vice President of Product Engineering. Prior to joining the company, Scott was the Director of Research and Development at Vizioncore which is also owned by Quest.

And Invirtus recently announced that Andy McCartney has joined the company as Vice President of Marketing. He joins the company from Atlanta-based OpenSpan where he was also Vice President of Marketing. In this role he was pivotal in establishing the company’s pioneering position and marketing function in the high growth application integration and automation space, where virtualized desktops were increasingly critical to end-user productivity.

“I am energized by the opportunity to join the Invirtus team, and to help the company further penetrate and lead the virtualization management software market. The roadmap I have seen and the track record of this company to deliver innovative quality software have been the keys to taking on this role,” said McCartney. “With virtualization arguably reaching a tipping point, this is a seriously exciting time to maximize the opportunity for a company as agile as Invirtus. Expect to see an aggressive expansion of its portfolio of heterogeneous VM utilities and technologies that radically improve VM creation, management, ROI and usage of the virtualization platforms from Microsoft, VMware and Virtual Iron.”
