Company: About Us

Convirture was founded in 2006 to solve an acute problem faced by an increasing number of businesses. As open source hypervisor packages gained functionality, more and more data centers and QA and test labs had begun to deploy them, both to increase the range of applications running on virtualized infrastructure, and to lower the overall cost of virtualization. As companies began to use open source virtualization platforms to solve their strategic business challenges, they ran head-first into a new challenge: the overhead and complexity of managing open source virtualization platforms

Our mission: make open source virtualization a real option for enterprises

Convirture's founders believe that open source virtualization will play a strategic role for IT infrastructure when paired with enterprise-class systems management. Convirture’s mission is to allow businesses to realize the promise of open source virtualization.

Before ConVirt, companies that adopted open source virtualization did so with great sacrifice. Whether you deployed open source virtualization to accommodate your application needs or to save on licensing costs, you know the pain of custom scripts, command line interfaces, and the labor-intensive process of manual systems management. With ConVirt, we set out to make open source virtualization a real alternative for enterprises. We made sure to build in the full set of capabilities you need to keep your applications performing and your operations running smoothly. And we’ve succeeded with our mission of giving businesses of all sizes a dramatically reduced total cost of ownership for virtualization.

Get cross-platform freedom

At the core of our philosophy is a belief that systems management should be independent of the platforms being managed, so that you are free to choose the platform that best suits each of your needs, on its own merits, with the ability to run and seamlessly manage a mix of virtualization platforms. With ConVirt you manage any number of Xen and KVM virtual machines and all your computing resources as a whole, from a single console.

Leverage the power of community

We believe our customers can derive significantly more strategic value from ConVirt if we give you the means to experience and be part of the power of the community – sharing experiences, best practices, ideas, how to’s, and technical tips with other ConVirt users. So please check out our user Forums and our other community resources. We encourage you to be an active member of the community, and tap into its magic. Since we are an integral part of that community, you get the opportunity to guide the future of our rapidly evolving product and company, and we get a chance to align closely with those who we serve – you, our customers.

Get support if you need it

Should you need support, our team of highly qualified engineers is available to help. We want to meet whatever your need and budget so we’ve provided a range of support options including incident-based support and subscription packages. We also made sure to build online help into ConVirt, and to provide a full set of user documentation.

Our customers

Convirture customers range in size from large businesses who use ConVirt to maintain high resource utilization and application performance in their data centers, to smaller development test labs who need to rapidly provision and tear down virtualized test environments. Some use ConVirt to deploy virtualization for the first time, while others deploy ConVirt to manage open source virtualization platforms already in operation.

What is common across all our customers is the need to manage open source virtualized infrastructure with the same efficiency and ease as you manage other virtualized infrastructure. You came to us asking for a way to quickly set up and tear down new open source virtual machines, and to fluidly manage those virtual machines in response to changes in application performance, all with limited resources. We hope we’ve exceeded your expectations, and contributed significant value to your business.
