Overview -
Univa UD is the premier open source grid software and services company in the marketplace. Univa UD is the only company in the industry that can provide an enterprise customer with a full lifecycle of best-of-breed open source grid solutions spanning the full grid adoption lifecycle.
The original vision of the grid - as articulated by Univa UD’s founders – explicitly placed the concept of virtualization at its core. Over the intervening decade, enterprises have increasingly recognized the importance of virtualization - whether of networks, servers, or data - as a critical tool for enabling business agility, infrastructure manageability, and resource consolidation. The grid is a foundational technology for the virtualization of enterprise resources. Univa UD is headquartered in Lisle, IL with a major office location in Austin, TX and off – shore development in Pune, India. The company is backed by leading venture capital firms including: Arch Venture Funds, New World Ventures, Appian Ventures, OCA Ventures, Mobius Ventures, Constellation Ventures and Oak Ventures. Gartner has identified Grid, Open Source and Virtualization in its top ten strategic technologies for 2007 in the Datacenter. Univa UD is at the intersection of those three trends.
Virtualization decouples the software layer from the hardware layer which opens up the possibility of the real dynamic sharing of hardware resources. In 2007, there has been a lot of buzz in the marketplace with the announcements of at least four major exits in the space: Virt .Company Revenues Market Cap VM Ware ~$1.2 Billion $30 Billion (Public Company)
Xensource $2 million $500 Million (acquired by Citrix)
Opsware $100 million $1.6 Billion (acquired by HP)
Bladelogic $37 million $712.6 Million (Public Company)
