Cloud and telecommunications provider CenturyLink announces the acquisition of Orchestrate, a 10-man startup behind a fully managed cloud-based NQL solution for rapid application development.
The company will be used to add Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) capabilities to the CenturyLink Cloud platform, as well as enhance the CenturyLink Product Development and Technology organisation.
"[M]ost enterprises are expressing interest in solutions that help them meet the performance, scalability and agile development needs of large-scale big data analytics," CenturyLink says. "The Orchestrate database service's ease of use and ability to support multiple database technologies have emerged as key differentiators that we are eager to offer our customers through the CenturyLink Cloud platform."
Orchestrate is already familiar with CenturyLink, as its product offering has been available on the CenturyLink Cloud Marketplace earlier this year. Following the acquisition it will be deployed in CenturyLink's datacentres in the UK, Germany, Japan, China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
