Even so, the company is still growing at a rapid clip because of its virtualization technology, which essentially squeezes more firepower from servers and other tech resources.</p>
<p>In fact, a variety of players are moving into the space. Some of the usual suspects include <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/microsoft-corporation/msft/nas?tabs=quotesandnews">Microsoft</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/microsoft-corporation/msft/nas?tabs=quotesandnews">MSFT</a>) and <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/oracle-corporation/orcl/nas?tabs=quotesandnews">Oracle</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/oracle-corporation/orcl/nas?tabs=quotesandnews">ORCL</a>). </p>
<p>But, of course, there are also some scrappy startups, such as <a href="http://www.virtualiron.com">Virtual Iron</a>.</p>
<p>The company has <a href="http://www.dealprofiles.com/blog/2008/01/29/virtual-iron/">announced</a> a $20 million round of venture capital. The investors include: Highland Capital Partners, Matrix Partners, <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/the-goldman-sachs-group-inc/gs/nys?tabs=quotesandnews">Goldman Sachs</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/the-goldman-sachs-group-inc/gs/nys?tabs=quotesandnews">GS</a>), <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/intel-corporation/intc/nas?tabs=quotesandnews">Intel Capital</a> (NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/intel-corporation/intc/nas?tabs=quotesandnews">INTC</a>) and <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/sap-aktiengesellschaft/sap/nys?tabs=quotesandnews">SAP Ventures</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/sap-aktiengesellschaft/sap/nys?tabs=quotesandnews">SAP</a>).</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/01/29/virtual-iron-takes-on-vmware/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Virtual Iron takes on VMware</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/01/29/virtual-iron-takes-on-vmware/">Virtual Iron takes on VMware</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:30:00 EST.
