NodePrime, a start-up based in San Francisco, emerged from stealth and announced $7 million in seed funding for its software-defined datacenter platform.
NodePrime’s mission is to enable companies to centrally view, diagnose and control their IT infrastructure in minutes using tools similar to those used by Google and Facebook. The idea is to fix the current siloed approach to machine data collection and automation, by allowing systems administrators to rapidly reduce the amount of time spent provisioning and managing the lifecycle of data centers. It provides a full stack of data, tools and APIs across disparate platform and hardware vendors.
NodePrime said SAP, Ericsson and GoDaddy are using its platform.
Investors include Menlo Ventures, NEA, Formation 8, Ericsson, Initialized Capital, Crosslink Capital and TEEC Angel Fund.
“Our vision is to transform the datacenter into a single organism where it’s entirely possible to manage millions of machines and devices, and billions of metrics, inside one view,” said James Malachowski, co-founder and CEO of NodePrime. “Our platform is a fundamental enabler of the software-defined datacenter that brings new levels of virtualization and containerization to modern IT infrastructure. Just as VMware and Docker have had huge operational impacts on business, we’re creating a power shift for enterprises to make decisions on their own terms and scale with precision, at the speed which businesses need to operate today.”
