Release: VMTurbo Appliance update for April 2011

Last year April, virtualization.info started following a new startup called VMTurbo, which entered the capacity management solutions market. A few months later, the company launched its first product called the VMTurbo platform. Later that year, the company released as several other products to complement its offering, all becoming available within the Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) based virtual appliance it offers to host its products.

In Februari this year, VMTurbo announced a rebranding of its products into the VMTurbo Virtualization Management Suite, offering it in four different flavors, moving all of its released products into four different suites for customers to buy.

  • Identification of “Top 10” when looking at any set of data
