Cloud Startups
Local companies are ready to ride the wave of cloud investments.
TwinStrata, a Natick-based software company, created CloudArray, a product that helps companies interested in utilizing a cloud connect to cloud storage systems. Getting client data into the cloud is not as easy as just pushing a button, explains Nicos Vekiarides, founder and CEO of TwinStrata.
The company’s program acts as a bridge to transfer data for cloud storage. “There are a lot of cloud services out there, but if a company goes out and purchases storage as a service, they should make sure it will work with the existing applications to turn the investment into a high value solution that will function seamlessly and remove administrative headaches,” he said. Customers purchase the cloud technology, then companies like TwinStrata make it function using software that is downloaded onto a computer desktop to manage the cloud conversion.
Nasuni, a Natick startup, recently secured $8 million in venture capital funding from North Bridge Venture Partners and Sigma Partners.
“We take care of all the things that people worry about,” said CEO Andres Rodriguez. “(We handle) security, performance, the choice of which vendor, locking into an agreement, pricing, getting connected. We’re really built to answer these questions as a partner to deliver the clouds more easily.”
Rodriquez said he hopes the company’s first products could be released in early 2010. — Brandon Butler
