Burlington, Mass.-centered startup DynamicOps has elevated $ 11 million in Series B funding from Sierra Ventures, Next World Capital and investment financial institution Credit score Suisse’s Next II venture group. As I reported in October, DynamicOps emerged as the industrial materialization of an inner virtualization management venture inside of Credit Suisse in 2008, and it has because expanded into the private cloud computing area. By way of an OEM offer, DynamicOps’ Cloud Automation Manager application provides the self-company component of Dell’s Virtual Integrated Method management suite. Presented its previously-sound basis, the new funds could go a extended way toward making DynamicOps a home name in the private-cloud area.

That DynamicOps has an present consumer base to which it can pitch its Cloud Automation Manager distinguishes it from most private-cloud startups that ought to begin their product sales efforts from Stage 1. I noted in my before submit that DynamicOps was able to build a strong client base for its virtualization administration software program, Virtual Resource Supervisor, primarily based in aspect on its currently obtaining been proven inside of Credit Suisse. As VP of Advertising Rich Bordeaux advised me then, 1 consumer at the moment manages 30,000 VMs and virtual desktops and is hunting to have much more than 60,000 inside of 18 months. Now, it has $ 11 million a lot more “to fund world wide income, marketing and improvement of its private cloud automation remedies.”

But the disclaimer that applies to all private-cloud efforts — be it Cloud.com, Nimbula, Abiquo, Eucalyptus or whomever — applies to DynamicOps, as effectively, which is that we’ve even now nevertheless to see any true uptake (publicly, at least) of these products over and above service suppliers and some proofs-of-notion inside of traditional corporations.  The technologies is normally revolutionary, and surveys often show relatively large interest in personal cloud overs public clouds, so it seems like mainstream adoption shouldn’t be too considerably out. It wouldn’t also shocking to see DynamicOps be the organization to break via — even over and above the users it garners via the Dell integration — but we’re nonetheless waiting for evidence that anyone can.
