Leading Virtualization Firm Foedus Is No Longer (VMware Purchases Key Assets)

January 4, 2008

One of the top virtualization firms in the country – Foedus, of Portsmouth NH, will no longer be offering services and products as the news came out days ago surprising just about everyone.

Foedus had an excellent reputation for virtualization services , documentation (many of their technical white papers are posted at vmware.com and creative marketing (Foedus World, etc)

VMware has purchased part of Foedus – key personnel from management and engineering.
The remaining sales, operations and marketing is rumored to have been purchased by another firm.

VMware is saying that the acquisition will help VMware, clients and partners by offering new services – probably re-packaging some of the popular services offered by Foedus in the past (VMware and WAN acceleration, VMware and FDA Compliance, Regulation, etc)

Mike Reilly the CEO of Foedus has done a terrific job in the past and Mike and his team should be a great addition to VMware’s professional services.
