OUR STORY

THEN
Virtucomp Closed Corporation (Virtucomp cc) was originaly founded in 1998 by two students Enrico Vermaak & Jan Dorfling as a means to make money whilst being students at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. Virtucomp cc used to be a company that focused on assembling, installing and repairing computers. The name VIRTUCOMP was derived from VIRTUal COMPuting, which was not a generally familiar concept at the time (even to those familiar with Information Technology). Virtucomp was therefore named jokingly, not (at the time) understanding the profound impact that virtual computing would have on the industry. The business was however shelved after less than a year of trading.
