With all of the hoopla over VMware and Citrix this past week, SWsoft didn't get the chance to properly pound their own chest very much. Many people, both new and old to the virtualization market, may not realize it, but SWsoft would like them to know that they are the second-largest overall virtualization software company in the world, the leading desktop virtualization vendor and the only company to offer both With all of the hoopla over VMware and Citrix this past week, SWsoft didn’t get the chance to properly pound their own chest very much. Many people, both new and old to the virtualization market, may not realize it, but SWsoft would like them to know that they are the second-largest overall virtualization software company in the world, the leading desktop virtualization vendor and the only company to offer both virtual machine and OS virtualization technologies.Not only that, but the company also just announced that they have increased its revenue by 127 percent for the first half of 2007 versus the first half of 2006. No small victory. They also announced a nice showcase of usage of their Parallels and Virtuozzo products. SWsoft is reporting that their combined products now power more than 1.3 million virtual desktops and servers: More than 130,000 physical servers are currently powered by SWsoft products. More than 600,000 physical desktops and notebooks use Parallels software. More than 700,000 virtual environments (or containers) are powered by Virtuozzo. Nearly every Fortune 500 company uses Parallels virtual machine software. “These results are clear indications of the useful innovation and unique value that SWsoft products offer hundreds of thousands of customers every day,” said Serguei Beloussov, CEO of SWsoft.And the company isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. It recently shipped a new 3.0 version of the Parallels Desktop software for the Mac which added quite a number of new features. It also just launched the Virtuozzo Starter Pack for Windows and Linux to entice new users to try its OS virtualization technology. The company is also working on a new server virtualization product under the Parallels brand, which will operate on bare-metal as well as on top of Windows, Linux or Apple’s OS X server. And the company’s recent SWsoft PEM 2.6.3, SWsoft Plesk 8.2 and SWsoft Sitebuilder 4.0 upgrades are expected to help extend the company’s role as a leader in the datacenter automation field.Could we be looking at the next ripe candidate in this market for acquisition?
