Getting ready to launch
Posted Tuesday, December 15, 2009 in News 0 comments
In the summer of 2007, I talked Serge Pashenkov and Alex Miroshnichenko into to quitting their paying jobs and joining me the ranks of the unemployed. It was hugely risky, but there were so many opportunities to help companies with better data storage solutions, and frankly the big vendors weren't (and sadly still aren't) doing much in the way of real innovation. The only way to do anything truly exciting in this industry is to start your own company.
By that fall, we knew exactly what problem to solve: making storage work properly in a virtualized environment. We talked to lots of big and small VMware shops, who all said they loved virtualizing, yet hated how storage worked when they did.
Two years of hard work later, we're about to move Virsto Software into a new phase.
We're transitioning from a development-mode company to a going-to-market company. Early in 2010, we'll launch our first product and take our first customers from beta testing to production deployment.
Igniting the rockets
Virsto has an outstanding technical team. These folks are, in fact, rocket scientists. The power of the technology we've built goes far beyond what will be exposed in our first product, but even this first offering has our beta sites excited to jump, with both feet, into the Virsto solution.
All of us at Virsto Software look forward to firing the rockets on our first product very soon.
