F5以5亿美元的价格收购Volterra多云管理初创公司

应用程序网络公司F5今天宣布，它将以5亿美元的价格收购多云管理初创公司Volterra。 这分解为4.4亿美元的现金和6000万美元的递延和未归属的激励性薪酬。 Volterra成立于2019年，获得了包括Khosla Ventures和Mayfield在内的多个来源的5000万美元投资，以及M12（微软的风险投资部门）和Samsung Ventures等战略投资者。 正如公司在融资时向我描述的那样： Volterra创新了一致的云原生环境，可以跨多个公共云和边缘站点（分布式云平台）进行部署。 在这种基于SaaS的产品中，Volterra集成了通常在许多点产品，网络或云提供商中孤立的广泛服务。 该解决方案旨在提供一种查看安全性，操作和管理组件的单一方法。

原文：Applications networking company F5 announced today that it is acquiring Volterra, a multi-cloud management startup, for $500 million. That breaks down to $440 million in cash and $60 million in deferred and unvested incentive compensation.

Volterra  emerged in 2019 with a $50 million investment from multiple sources, including Khosla Ventures and Mayfield, along with strategic investors like M12 (Microsoft’s venture arm) and Samsung Ventures. As the company described it to me at the time of the funding:

Volterra has innovated a consistent, cloud-native environment that can be deployed across multiple public clouds and edge sites — a distributed cloud platform. Within this SaaS-based offering, Volterra integrates a broad range of services that have normally been siloed across many point products and network or cloud providers.

The solution is designed to provide a single way to view security, operations and management components.
