Dell has acquired Cloudify to spruce up its cloud orchestration capabilities.
Apparently, Dell wrote a cheque for $10 million and filed a Form S-8 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) “regarding certain outstanding and unvested options to acquire the ordinary shares of Cloudify Platform, an Israeli private liability company.”
A Dell spokesperson said that the transaction allows Dell to continue to innovate its edge offerings.
Herzliya, Israel-based Cloudify, which has its US headquarters in New York, was founded as an open-source DevOps automation platform delivering what it calls ‘Environment as a Service’ technology.
Cloudify’s environment-as-a-service packages infrastructure, networking, and automation tools into certified blueprints that it says its customers can use to manage heterogeneous cloud environments at scale, and to help bridge the gap between DevOps and IT service management (ITSM).
The technology lets DevOps teams working in hybrid cloud and cloud-native environments to automate provisioning and update workflows.
Cloudify works with AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, F5, Wind River Software, and ServiceNow.
