SAN FRANCISCO -- VMware, Inc., the virtualization leader, today announced it has acquired Dunes Technologies, a company that provides IT process orchestration software for virtual environments. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The announcement was made at VMworld 2007.

"As customers move toward large-scale virtual infrastructure deployments, they need solutions that allow them to maintain control over a growing number of virtual machines," said Raghu Raghuram, vice president of products and solutions at VMware.
