According to Gartner, the cloud management platforms and tools (CMPT) market grew to over $1 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at an estimated 20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2022. Over the past 12 months, CloudBolt has had banner success including doubling the size of its customer base, being named by Deloitte as one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America, and being ranked in the top 15% of all companies on the Inc. 5000 list. In addition, CloudBolt’s recent acquisitions of Kumolus and SovLabs have significantly strengthened the company’s hybrid cloud management vision.
With the acquisitions, CloudBolt gains two powerful new capabilities: 1) a SaaS-based offering that enables enterprises to visualize their public cloud environments like AWS and Azure and continuously optimize them for cost, security, and compliance; and 2) a codeless integration platform, enabling IT to finally reduce the high cost and complexity of custom coding while providing better governance over their integration strategy across new and emerging toolsets like VMware vRealize Automation, HashiCorp Terraform, and more.
