VM6 Software Scores $4 Million in Financing

VM6 Software, provider of the only all-in-one IT virtualization infrastructure software, today announced that it has closed a $4 million series A round of investment with RBC Venture Partners and Ignition Partners.

The investment will further accelerate VM6 Software’s customer expansion, future software development and marketing and sales efforts worldwide. Additionally, industry veteran Stephen Pollack has joined VM6 Software’s board of directors, along with Richard Fade from Ignition Partners and Jean-David Begin from RBC Venture Partners.

VM6 VMex software offers small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) an all-in-one IT infrastructure solution that is designed to fully leverage the benefits of virtualization to manage, provision, consolidate and protect distributed servers and desktop environments at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. The VM6 VMex solution eliminates the need for SMBs to centralize the infrastructure, hire and train specialized experts, and integrate expensive multi-point solutions for server and desktop virtualization, high availability, storage and management.

Pollack is a seasoned entrepreneur and industry expert with more than 25 years of experience in the high-technology market.  His most recent success started in 2003 with the founding of PlateSpin Ltd., a recognized industry leader in the virtualization market, which was purchased by Novell.

In addition to recently joining the Microsoft BizSpark One program, VM6 Software also announced the general availability of its VM6 VMex Enterprise Edition, which leverages Microsoft Hyper-V™ to combine virtualization with shared storage, advanced clustering, and intuitive management and monitoring. Customers using VM6 VMex are managing the network, desktops, applications, and physical and virtual servers as objects within their environments, all without the need for any external shared storage.  With a single console to manage the entire enterprise or each site individually, administrators can easily manage up to 65,000 distributed objects.
