FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Invirtus Solution
Creates Smaller, Faster Virtual Machines
Optimization Tool
will Ease Distribution, Save Users Time and Money
ATLANTA, GA –
November 15, 2005
–
Invirtus Corporation, developer of software that makes virtual machines
more accessible to more people, announced today the release of VMOptimizer™ 2.0.
VM Optimizer simplifies the management and distribution of virtual machines by
reducing their size by up to 80%.
“As adoption and
use of virtual machine technology is becoming more and more mainstream, we are
seeing greater demand from users to share and transport virtual machines,” said
Richard Fichera, Vice President of Forrester Research.
“Yet the compaction tools
built in to today’s platforms are only providing a limited decrease in the size
of virtual machines,” explained Tom Edwards, founder of Invirtus.
“VM Optimizer provided a
much smaller image than off the shelf compaction tools,” explained Jeffrey
Weinstein of healthcare software provider MedManagement. “Now we’ll be able to
place multiple VMs onto a single DVD where previously we were unable to place
just one.”
“VM Optimizer is the first
tool of its kind to give users what they really want – a significant enough
reduction in the size of VMs to make them truly portable and break previous
sharing barriers.”
VM Optimizer is a
Windows-based application that runs inside of a Virtual Machine and optimizes virtual
machines running on VMware® WorkstationTM, VMware GSX
ServerTM, Microsoft® Virtual PCTM, and
Microsoft Virtual ServerTM.
“Built-in compaction
doesn't provide near the results to make compacting worth while,”
“An 80% reduction in the
size of a virtual machine will allow users to store multiple VMs onto a single
DVD and enable new collaboration scenarios which, until now, have been nearly
impossible,” continued Edwards. “With VM Optimizer, users are now able to easily
transmit VMs across their network and the internet.”
"VM Optimizer is the first tool of its kind to give users what they really want – a significant enough reduction in the size of VMs to make them truly portable and break previous
sharing barriers."
