Virtual, Inc. Marks 15th Anniversary with New Technology Association Clients: Apache Software Foundation and Prpl Foundation

Virtual, Inc. (http://www.virtualmgmt.com), a leading technology-focused association management company, has recently signed two new specialized clients: the Apache Software Foundation and the prpl foundation. The firm is now celebrating 15 years of successfully launching, managing, and transforming trade associations, standard-setting organizations, professional societies, consortia, and advocacy groups.

The non-profit Apache Software Foundation provides organizational, legal, and financial support for the Apache community, whose products ower half the Internet, manage exabytes of data, execute teraflops of operations, store billions of objects in virtually every industry, and enhance the lives of countless users and developers worldwide. The Foundation shepherds, develops, and incubates more than 200 Open Source (News - Alert) innovations with an established framework for intellectual property and financial contributions, led by a volunteer community of 450 individual members and 4,000 contributors across six continents.

The prpl (pronounced "Purple") foundation is an open-source, community-driven, collaborative non-profit foundation targeting and supporting the MIPS architecture -- and open to others -- with a focus on enabling next-generation datacenter-to-device portable software and virtualized architectures. MIPS implementations are primarily used in embedded systems such as mobile devices, routers, residential gateways, and consumer electronics devices.

"We are fortunate to have experienced 15 years of steady growth and grateful to have been a part of many global technology movements that have since transformed the lives of consumers and altered the business landscape," said Bruce Rogers, Virtual's founder and CEO. "We're looking forward to helping bring more exciting innovations to market in the years ahead."
