Used by over 50,000 system administrators, the products have proven their ability to maximize capacity utilization, reduce virtualization costs and improve application performance.

Led by an experienced and proven management team, VKernel is well-positioned to address the growing demand and opportunity for performance and capacity management solutions for virtualized and cloud environments. The company has operations in the US and in Europe and sells its products directly or through a network of worldwide distribution and reseller partners.
