PEER 1 CloudXcelerator Partner Apprenda Closes $5 Million Investment

Thursday, November 12th, 2009  |  by Rajan Sodhi  |   No Comments

Apprenda, the creator of SaaSGrid, the world’s first SaaS application server,  announced today that the company has closed a $5 million investment round led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA), a leading global venture capital firm with a 30-year track record of successful investing in companies including Salesforce.com, WebEx, Juniper Networks and XenSource.  Existing investor High Peaks Venture Partners also participated in the round of funding.

With SaaSGrid, Apprenda has changed the way that software is built and delivered, providing a solution to the architecture and management complexities of delivering software across distributed web scale environments. Cloud computing is driving software companies toward on-demand delivery models and enterprises toward aggregating internal and external compute resources into cohesive delivery networks for their internal software. SaaSGrid, a distributed application execution layer, mitigates the traditional burdens associated with tackling these trends. As a result, SaaS companies and enterprises alike can dramatically reduce time to market and service delivery costs.
