While Hoff called this one on October 10^th, by linking out to the Virtualization.com’s coverage , we still get some ‘scoop points’ for our coverage of the deal in September. After a little further digging, we have confirmed that Blue Lane was well beyond the speculated $18million mark on sugar daddy money, not the $13.4million Virtualization.com cites as their figure. Specifically, they received the following rounds:

1. November 1^st, 2003: $5million from Benchmark Capital and Matrix Partners
2. June 17^th, 2005: $13.8million led by Duff Ackerman & Goodrich with Benchmark Captial and Matrix joining the mix
3. December 18^th, 2006: $8.3million from all the above mentioned plus Presidio STX

This brings their total to a whopping (considering the exit) $27.1million. If indeed, they got picked up for $15million, then VMware got a sweet deal.
