Ultimately, the acquisition was not consummated, and Virtkick remained an independent entity.
OnApp, a global cloud management software provider, has announced its intention to acquire Virtkick. OnApp is widely regarded as the leading cloud management software platform for the service provider industry (hosts, telcos, MSPs, VPS providers etc). They’ve been in business since 2010 and have helped many, many businesses in our industry build their own successful cloud hosting services. Check out onapp.com for more info.
