A number of virtualization management startup companies, many of whom are VMware partners, are looking to capitalize on this trend, each bringing its own unique value proposition to the table and hoping to advance the state of the art", says Tom Valovic in an article about virtualization published in the website Virtualization Review.

Mr. Valovic point readers attention to a company called Netuitive. He explains that Netuitive has been in the BSM and performance management business for almost 6 years and has over 200 enterprise class customers such as Cigna, Verizon, NTT, the US Army and MetLife.
