NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 25, 2008) - VIRTERA, a leading virtualization professional services and consulting firm specializing in maximizing virtualization ROI, announced today the grand opening of its new corporate headquarters in New York City. This expansion follows a dynamic twelve-month period which included the addition of many large enterprise customers across the financial services, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries; prestigious partner-of-the-year awards from several leading virtualization vendors for technical competence in architecting complex virtualization platforms; the introduction of a comprehensive suite of virtualization-specific professional and consulting services, and a year-over-year revenue growth rate of approximately 600%.

"Our new facility allows us to accommodate our rapid customer and employee growth while enabling us to more effectively deliver multi-vendor, enterprise level service engagements to the growing number of organizations adopting virtualized IT environments," said Howard Pavony, CEO of VIRTERA.

"With VIRTERA operating as a trusted third-party consulting partner, our virtualization deployments went smoothly and we were able to quickly recognize a solid return on our IT investment. Our expected cost savings should exceed $1M over the next three years, including $250,000 in maintenance and Total Cost-of-Ownership (TCO)."

VIRTERA has built a highly accomplished management and technology team comprised of virtualization industry leaders and employs the largest contingent of virtualization certified professionals on the East Coast.
