Juniper Networks announced today its intent to acquire the startup AppFormix, which does cloud operations management.
AppFormix’s technology uses machine learning to provide public, private, and telco cloud operators in both OpenStack and Kubernetes environments with real-time and historic monitoring and performance optimization.
Juniper will pair AppFormix’s technology with its Contrail product line. And it says AppFormix will help it improve cloud orchestration, security, accounting, and planning.
According to CrunchBase, AppFormix was founded in 2013 and has raised $7 million from August Capital.
The AppFormix team will report to Juniper’s office of the CTO. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2016.
