Founded by Alex Vasilevsky, Virtual Computer was a venture-backed software company in the Boston area that produces desktop virtualization products, which combine centralized management with local execution on a hypervisor running on PCs. By running the workload on the PC, Virtual Computer enables companies to have centralized management without servers, storage, and networking required for server-hosted VDI.
Virtual Computer was founded in November 2007 by Alex Vasilevsky. Highland Capital Partners and Flybridge Capital Partners invested $20 million in funding.[1] It was acquired by Citrix in May 2012.[2]
