"After reviewing products across the US, Canada, and UK, we have chosen the Commerx VSG to assist our larger customers achieve the full benefits of virtualization and utility computing", stated Michael Reilly, President and

CEO of Foedus. "As virtualization implementations continue to grow, our customers are asking for an enterprise class provisioning and billing application to support mainstream production environments. We believe we have found one."

The Commerx VSG addresses many of the barriers to large scale utility computing models by providing a web portal for end-user provisioning and server management, as well as a method for measuring resource utilization to create billing and chargeback capabilities. The VSG also addresses the complexities of physical switch configuration and management, keeping multiple private network customers securely connected to their virtual machines across large server farms containing hundred's of x86 servers or blades.

"After two years of working with Bell Canada and the Ontario Government, it's time for us to enter the US market", according to Stuart Levinsky, President of Commerx. "While the VSG greatly simplifies the end-users experience, it requires a very high level of technical expertise to install and properly configure for the customer. We have chosen Foedus as our first distributor because of their extraordinary amount of virtualization integration experience and high levels of customer satisfaction."
