Dell on Monday announced it is acquiring Enstratius, an enterprise cloud-management software and services provider that delivers single and multi-cloud management capabilities. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The company’s decision to swallow up Enstratius, which helps organizations manage applications across private, public and hybrid clouds, shows it wants to offer more options to its customers. Enstratius is “cloud agnostic,” which means it lets you choose from a wide variety of public and private cloud providers, including Dell and non-Dell clouds. Enstratius provides automated application provisioning and scaling, application configuration management, usage governance, and cloud utilization monitoring.
Enstratius comes in multiple flavors: as software-as-a-service or as on-premises software, enabling full control from within a customer’s data center, or via a hosted service. It currently supports more than 20 public and private cloud platforms, including OpenStack, VMware, Rackspace, Amazon Web Services, and Windows Azure.
Yet the most interesting part for Dell is that Enstratius has can easily add new clouds. As a result, as the space continues to transform, Dell will be able to quickly offer the latest options to its customers.
