Today, ClearCube, the PC Blade and Virtualization pioneer that has been a FiveRivers Technologies partner over the last many years, announced that it was spinning off a software company called VDIworks. Interestingly, this company will use talent in Pakistan, presumably also under the auspices of the FiveRivers relationship. The story that references the new relationship is available here. It says:

“The two companies will remain linked through several intercompany agreements, he said, and both are owned by the same holding company. They will consult on various product road maps, and ClearCube becomes a VDIworks customer and its initial revenue stream, he said. Good news for the Pakistan software industry as this relationship demonstrates the high end capabilities available in our local market, and the ability of our companies to deliver on long-term engagements with a high degree of success.

Hoffman will take Chief Technology Officer Amir Husain and several other ClearCube executives with him. All told, VDIworks will have 11 employees in Austin and 26 software developers that ClearCube employed in Pakistan, Hoffman said. “

This is good news for the local software industry, as this relationship demonstrates the high-end capabilities available in Pakistan and the ability of domestic companies to deliver on long-term relationships with success.
