VMware results surpass expectations
VMware has beaten its own forecasts in the company's second quarter results.
VMware has continued in its upward trajectory, posting $674 million (441.5 million) in revenue for the second quarter.
This represented a 48 per cent increase over the same period in 2009 and beat the firm's previous prediction of between $635 and $665 million. It had also risen from the first quarter figure of $634 million.
The virtualisation firm's net profit for the second quarter of 2010 was $75 million - more than double the $33 million from the previous year.
Licence revenues stood at $324 million for the second quarter, up 42 per cent, while services revenues hit $350 million, up 54 per cent.
VMware now expects overall revenues to go up to between $680 and $705 million for the third quarter, said Mark Peek, chief financial officer (CFO) at the company.
The company has now lifted its 2010 annual revenue expectations up to between $2.725 and $2.8 billion, which would represent an increase of 35-38 per cent from 2009.
"We are gratified that customers continue to recognise the value that VMware provides in modernising infrastructures and providing a pragmatic path to cloud computing," added Paul Maritz, president and chief executive (CEO) of VMware.
"As customers continue on this path, they are looking for a strategic partner to help move them forward, and VMware will continue to invest to deliver solutions that enable IT-as-a-service."
