VMTurbo, Inc. is an enterprise cloud and virtualization software company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

Overview

VMTurbo was founded in 2008 by a team of founders who previously co-founded System Management Arts (SMARTS),[1] which was acquired by EMC in 2005.[2] The company headquarters are in Boston, MA.[3] VMTurbo holds two patents.[4] The company's product, called VMTurbo Operations Manager, was launched in 2010.[5]

Version 3.0 of the product includes onsite and IaaS cloud virtualisation and integrates with VMware's vCloud Director, CloudStack, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization v3.1 and XenServer. [6] While originally part of VMware's ecosystem, VMTurbo's relationship with VMware became competetive, and as of October 2015 VMware had criticised VMTurbo's Operations Manager product as not being truly enterprise ready.[7]

Funding

VMTurbo raised a $7.5 million Series A from Bain Capital Ventures and Highland Capital Partners in 2009.[8] It then raised $10 million Series B from Bain and Highland in November 2011,[9] and a $7.5 million Series C round from Globespan Capital Partners in May 2013.[10] bringing the total funding to $25 Million.[11] In January 2015, the company raised another $50 Million in a Series D round led by ICONIQ Capital, a Silicon Valley-based investment firm, along with current investors Bain Capital Ventures, Globespan Capital Partners and Highland Capital Partners.[12]
