ClearCube is a computer systems manufacturer based in Austin, Texas, owned by parent company ClearCube Holdings. The company became known for its blade PC products;[1][2] it has since expanded its offerings to include desktop virtualization and VDI. It was founded in 1997 by Andrew Heller (former IBM Fellow) and Barry Thornton as Vicinity Systems.[3][4]
In 2005, ClearCube derived about a third of its revenue from virtual infrastructure products sold into the financial services sector,[5] with the majority of their remaining revenue coming from customers in the healthcare and government sectors.[3][4] ClearCube has continued to focus on virtualization-capable hardware and management software, which has led to strong revenue growth. In 2011, the company announced 50% year-over-year revenue growth due to the strong performance of its virtual desktop products.[6]
In 2011, ClearCube acquired Dallas-based Network Elites.[7][8][9] The acquisition brought roughly 25 additional employees to the company and expanded ClearCube's Cloud services capabilities.[citation needed]
