Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) August 27, 2015 -- AirVM, the leading cloud management platform company, today announced it has closed $8.0 million in Series A funding. Led by RHO Canada Ventures, joined by Build Ventures, and current investor Wesley Clover, the Series A financing positions AirVM for continued global growth as they scale to meet the demand for their cloud management platform, AirSembly. The company will also leverage this funding to expand into new regions, new cloud services, and new platform technologies.

The AirVM technology solves real business problems, their partner ecosystem continues to grow, and their markets are expanding globally.

“AirVM has grown tremendously in 2015, and as we continue to add new partners, this Series A financing ensures ongoing innovation and growth to meet the demands of the cloud industry,” said Joshua Vautour, CEO and founder of AirVM. “We will continue to build on our momentum as the leading VMware cloud management platform company and expand into new markets.”

With this funding AirVM will strengthen its already deep integration with VMware technologies, expand support for 3rd party public clouds like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, and integrate with other leading cloud technologies such as OpenStack and Microsoft Hyper-V. To support this growth AirVM will also continue to expand and invest in its sales, support, and engineering teams.

“AirVM solves real problems for its customers in a market that offers the potential for sustained growth,” said Sean Brownlee, Partner of Rho Canada Ventures. “With its strategic relationships and proven products, the company is very well positioned to take advantage of the opportunity.”

“The cloud is the defining technology of our time. AirVM was an early innovator in the cloud market and has quickly emerged as a global player in cloud enablement software,” said Patrick Keefe, General Partner at Build Ventures. “They have a clear vision and the product and team needed to realize it. We look forward to working with them.”

"Josh and his team have worked hard to build the AirVM business", said Terry Matthews, Chairman of Wesley Clover International, founding and ongoing investor in AirVM. "This external investment round is validation that they are on the right track. The AirVM technology solves real business problems, their partner ecosystem continues to grow, and their markets are expanding globally. These are all key achievements we strive for in young companies, and we are pleased with the future prospects this additional funding injection will enable.”

AirVM’s Series A financing comes at a time when they’ve signed one of the world’s largest cloud providers, Rackspace, to a service provider partner agreement, and alongside the announcement of AirSembly 2.0. The latter will be on display at VMworld 2015 in San Francisco from August 31st to September 3rd, at Booth #2047.
