Overview
Virtualize was formed in 2008 as an entrepreneurial black owned company focused on supplying specialised computer products and services to government and selected corporate customers. The original focus was on Vmware Virtualization products and services, hence the name
of the company. Some large Virtualization projects were completed successfully,
including a hardware consolidation project for the Department of Public Works in
Polokwane based on HP hardware platforms.
In 2011 Virtualize became a 100% black female owned company. The new shareholder
decided to extend the company's scope by adding the supply of hardware products to the
company's product portfolio. Virtualize has since reached agreement to be included as a
sub-contractor on Sita contract 285/1 for the supply of office based computer products to
government for seven of the provinces.
