Swedish networking infrastructure giant Ericsson has acquired the American infrastructure intelligence provider Sentilla Corp.
It comes as the traditional data centre environment facing ongoing challenges when adapting to new workload demands, such as cloud-based applications and mobility.
Ericsson did not reveal how much it paid for Redwood City, California-based company, although it seems that all Sentilla staff, including a team of ‘highly-skilled experts’ will be incorporated into Ericsson’s Business Unit Support Solutions.
“As more businesses leverage mobility and cloud-based applications, the unique combination of automation and just-in-time intelligence that we can provide enables necessary agility and responsiveness,” said Elisabetta Romano, VP and Head of OSS and Service Enablement, Business Unit Support Solutions.
“By combining our capabilities with key Ericsson offerings, we can support dynamic optimization of workloads across physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures, including constantly changing data center environments,” said Mike Kaul, CEO of Sentilla. “This functionality is imperative for service providers that want to continue to deliver a compelling enterprise offering.”
In February this year, Ericsson introduced a cloud-based unified communications solution that allows service providers to offer it as a service to their enterprise and small and midsize business (SMB) customers.
Back in March 2010, Sentilla claimed a data centre energy monitoring first with its Energy Manager 3.0. That product, it claimed was the first to measure the energy of both metered and unmetered assets in the data centre with its inference engine.
