SaltStack has closed a $15.5m Series A round to help organisations enforce policy configuration compliance across massive infrastructures.
The round, which brings the company’s total funding to $28m, was led by Mercato Partners and b builds on past investments from Peak Capital, Epic Ventures, and Deep Fork Capital.
Last year, the company launched SaltStack Enterprise, an IT management solution built to scale and replicate human intelligence for more efficient and autonomic infrastructure. SaltStack Enterprise is built on the Salt open source software project, which is used by enterprise DevOps and IT operations professionals around the world.
Based in Lehi, Utah SaltStack is an event-driven automation platform used for configuration management, security compliance, and intelligent orchestration of hybrid cloud, network, IoT and application environments at scale.
“The SaltStack team has built a successful software company that is changing the way IT organizations manage and secure digital resources from the data center to the very edges of the network,” said Ryan Sanders, Mercato Partners director. “IT organisations use SaltStack intelligent automation to detect and counteract critical threats such as the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. This is just one-way SaltStack can help CIOs and IT leaders reduce risk, enable digital business and show ROI in months, not years. We look forward to supporting SaltStack growth through our investment.”
