Sun acquires cloud company Q-layer
Published: 07 Jan 2009 13:53 GMT
Sun announced Wednesday it has acquired Q-layer, a Belgium-based cloud-computing specialist.
Q-layer's technology adds automation to both public and private clouds, allowing companies to simplify the management and deployment of datacentre applications. Its software will give customers greater flexibility in areas such as servers, storage and bandwidth, Sun said.
Like many other companies in the tech sector, Sun has been orienting itself to cloud computing, a web-focused spin on an old concept in which a sizeable proportion of data and computing resources are hosted and managed in a central location, away from local machines.
Details of the deal were not disclosed. Q-layer was founded in 2005.
