Accelerite to acquire Citrix CloudPlatform

Accelerite agreed to acquire Citrix CloudPlatform, powered by Apache CloudStack and CloudPortal Business Manager. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Citrix CloudPlatform (powered by Apache CloudStack) is cloud computing software for creating, managing, and deploying public and private cloud infrastructure services. CloudPortal Business Manager is a unified cloud services delivery and business management platform that enables cloud services automation for provisioning, billing, metering and user management.

"Customers are our top priority and we are confident that Accelerite will nurture our customers who are heavily invested in running their clouds on these solutions," said Steve Wilson, vice president, Core Infrastructure at Citrix. "Accelerite has been successful in acquiring product lines from other large companies to grow cloud computing and virtualization software products. Citrix will work closely with Accelerite to build on CloudPlatform integrations with our key offerings that enable the secure delivery of apps and data."

Accelerite said that in addition to increasing the level of investment in the product line to reinvigorate the roadmap with new features and functions to meet the evolving needs of CloudPlatform users, it will continue to work closely with Apache Foundation and contribute its CloudPlatform roadmap to the Apache CloudStack project.
