Ericsson, Tuesday announced its intention to acquire 100% stake in San Francisco-based data center automation startup NodePrime.
NodePrime helps enterprises manage their data centers, providing infrastructure management platform that is designed to support the command and control of the complete ecosystem of components in today's existing datacenters. Integrated into the Ericsson Hyperscale Datacenter System 8000, this software platform enables discovery, analysis and automated configuration of existing and new datacenter hardware platforms. This allows datacenters to become hyperscale and adopt distributed infrastructure. By acquiring Nodeprime's competence, Ericsson said that it will reduce sourcing risk and secure control of roadmap direction and acceleration.
James Malachowski, co-founder and CEO of NodePrime
Our vision from the start was to transform the infrastructure into a single entity where it's entirely possible to grasp the management of hyperscale data center infrastructure through the collection of trillions of associated metrics inside one view.
Anders Lindblad, Vice President, Head of Business Unit Cloud & IP
We at Ericsson continue to accelerate the creation of the software defined datacenter market, to benefit our customers. NodePrime has unique talent and was a clear choice to bring inside Ericsson.
