# CloudSwitch

**APIs profiled:** 0

CloudSwitch was a cloud-infrastructure software startup founded in 2008 by Ellen Rubin and John Considine and headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts. Its flagship product, CloudSwitch Enterprise, was a downloadable software appliance that installed into VMware and Xen environments and enabled enterprises to migrate and run existing Windows and Linux virtual machines in public clouds such as Amazon EC2 and Terremark without re-architecting them, preserving networking and security boundaries. The company raised roughly $15.4M across two rounds from Matrix Partners, Atlas Venture, and Commonwealth Capital Ventures, and was acquired by Verizon in August 2011 and folded into its Terremark cloud services unit. The company is defunct: it operates no independent website, developer portal, or API, so this profile remains a historical portfolio-lead stub with no live surface to enrich.
