==Current Status==

As of May 2013, VCE was on a $1 billion annual sales run rate with more than 1,000 Vblock Systems sold. <ref>http://www.crn.com/news/data-center/240155540/converged-infrastructure-bets-are-in-where-are-they-paying-off.htm?pgno=10</ref> In November 2012, VCE was named the market share leader for integrated infrastructure systems in an independent analysis by Gartner. The report was the first analysis of the integrated systems market conducted by the firm, which traditionally tracked the server, networking, and external controller-based storage areas as individual markets. The report claimed that VCE had a 57.4% share among a group of leading vendors of integrated infrastructure systems in the second quarter of 2012 based on revenue. VCE was also named one of the “2013 Virtualization 50” by CRN. <ref>http://www.crn.com/slide-shows/virtualization/240155351/2013-virtualization-50.htm?pgno=43</ref>
