12 months ago I took on a new initiative here at Tripwire focused on virtualization management.  The vWire project was a separate line of business from Tripwire Enterprise, entirely focused on solutions to make the VI professional’s life easier.  What a ride it has been!

Over the past year I had the opportunity to work on something that has automation built in as a base function and as most of you know automation has truly been my passion when working with virtual environments.  It has been a great honor and privilege to be a part of something new and have the opportunity to have input to help design and build a new application to help the virtualization administrators find and resolve issues before those issues really become nightmares.  I really think the vWire team, here at Tripwire, built a fantastic product that has such a great deal of potential to make a difference to the administrators working in the trenches.

After careful consideration Tripwire has decided to permanently discontinue the vWire product, effective immediately.  Why is vWire being discontinued?  Tripwire has been highly successful in security and compliance and we want to focus all of our efforts on this in 2010.    As we looked at vWire, it is just not inline with that strategic goal and as a result this decision was necessary.

Thanks to your loyalty and input into the vWire community, we have learned a great deal and are excited to explore how to focus the vWire technology into future projects.   Look for great things in 2010.

The entire vWire team sincerely appreciates your support.
