c. Stromasys Continues to Extend Reach around the Globe:
Shows positive growth, adding new staff and facilities
Stromasys has helped thousands of customers around the world modernize their legacy OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX systems through cross-platform virtualization, and the success of their CHARON-VAX and CHARON-AXP software products, with 4,000 licenses sold worldwide, has necessitated a global expansion effort. Over the last two years, they have opened regional offices worldwide, and increased the staff and product portfolio to accommodate growing customer demand, and their plans for growth are far from complete.
Recent expansion efforts include the opening of a new regional office in Europe, as well as several additions to the staff in China and North America. Their newest regional office, located in Munich, opened in October to serve customers throughout the European market. The Shenzhen Development Center welcomed three new technical staff to their engineering facility in China, adding increased capabilities for current and future product development. North America also welcomed a new Systems Engineer with Tru64 UNIX expertise, in response to increased demand among enterprise clients for virtualization of Tru64 systems. Such considerable growth bodes well for Stromasys, as well as for customers, resellers, and anyone interested in their pioneering cross-platform virtualization software.
