Virtual Bridges, Inc. today announced the company just completed its most successful quarter to-date. Strong demand for the company's VERDE 7 enterprise-ready desktop virtualization solution fueled the growth as global enterprises sought to provide secure, anytime, anywhere access to end-user devices, files, applications and programs on premises and in the cloud.

"2013 was an incredibly fast-paced, aggressive year for Virtual Bridges and one that delivered very positive results," said Sam Cece, CEO of Virtual Bridges. "Businesses and government agencies worldwide recognize the powerful solutions we provide, as well as the high quality of service and support that comes with it. We ended the year with our most profitable quarter ever and look forward to building on that momentum, advancing our core VERDE solution and developing new innovative products in 2104."
