July 12, 2011 — Bingham, led by partners Steve Browne, Laurie Cerveny and Will Perkins, represented Citrix Systems in its acquisition of Cloud.com, a market-leading provider of software infrastructure platforms for cloud providers. The company’s innovative CloudStack product line helps providers of all types deploy and manage simple, cost-effective cloud services that are scalable, secure and open by design. This acquisition further establishes Citrix as a leader in infrastructure for the rapidly growing cloud provider market, which is expected to exceed $11 billion by the end of 2013, according to industry analysts. With the addition of Cloud.com, Citrix now offers a complete portfolio of virtualization, orchestration and networking solutions built for the Cloud Era — solutions that are not only among the market leaders individually, but also designed to help customers avoid vendor lock-in by letting them use the hardware, software, management products and service providers of their choice. Bingham’s team also included partners Natascha George, Tony Carbone, Jenny Cooper and Thane Scott; counsel Tom Gray and Jason Rodriguez; associates Ryan Sykora and Kevin Madden; and Cheryl Fiorenza, paralegal specialist.
