Virsto Software is proud to have been selected by Microsoft to join their BizSpark One program.

Microsoft BizSpark One

BizSpark One is designed to catalyze the growth of selected high-potential startups, and seeks to accelerate the growth of high potential startups through a 1:1 relationship with Microsoft.

In this invite-only program, Virsto works closely with a dedicated relationship manager to promote visibility, expand the network of investors and mentors, expose new business opportunities, and develop cutting edge applications.

Virsto software is a simple hypervisor plug-in that uniquely solves the storage problems brought on by server virtualization.

Paired with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, Virsto helps users:

  • Reduce VM disk footprint by 90%
  • Unclog I/O bottlenecks and triple VM density
  • Eliminate 90% of the time spent provisioning VM storage

“What Hyper-V does exceptionally well is bring the benefits of server virtualization to VDI and customers at a very low total cost of ownership. Now, with the prospect of adding Virsto with VDI, you could enhance the current TCO benefits of Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V virtualized server consolidation. This could mean a more attractive cost per virtual desktop. Examples like this are a major reason why Microsoft is focused on building a robust ecosystem of strategic ISVs to support the growing number of Hyper-V and System Center users.”
