Mesosphere, which helps businesses deploy advanced apps and automate operations within their IT infrastructure, announced Monday that it has raised $125 million in a Series D funding round.
San Francisco-based Mesosphere aims to make it easier even for non-tech companies, such as retailers and cruise ship lines, to develop new digital features, such as streaming video and audience analytics, through the use of machine learning tools and other cutting-edge software. The company creates unified controls for their customers’ various computing resources, which can include traditional data centers, Web-based computing and data storage platforms, and distributed edge computing nodes.
Founded in 2013, Mesosphere is a rival of Raleigh, NC-based Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) and San Francisco-based Pivotal Software (NYSE: PVTL), which raised $555 million in its initial public offering April 20.
