Mirantis plans to enhance OpenStack capabilities with the acquisition of TCP Cloud, a Czech managed services provider specialised in OpenStack, OpenContrail and Kubernetes.
The TCP Cloud product offering is called MK.20. Known as a managing infrastrucutre-as-code, it is used by top public cloud players such as AWS, Google Compute Cloud and Microsoft Azure to maintain clouds. Post-acquisition it will be merged with Fuel, the software platform handling the deployment and management of OpenStack and related open source infrastructure software.
The Czech company employs 30 people. Financial details of its acquisition are not officially available, but sources say it was worth around $30 million.
"The model for delivering infrastructure employed by traditional vendors is fundamentally misaligned with modern software development patterns. Disruptors of the digital era push new code to production multiple times a day, while traditional enterprise vendors ship infrastructure as packaged software once every few years and require forklift upgrades,” Mirantis says. “Mirantis empowers enterprises to embrace the new, continuously delivered infrastructure model on their terms. TCP Cloud’s technology and expertise helps us accelerate that vision."
