Google announced its acquisition of Orbitera, a start-up offering a commerce platform for buying and selling software in the cloud. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Orbitera platform can be used by independent software vendors, service providers and IT channel organizations for deploying, managing and billing of cloud-based software. The company said more than 60,000 enterprise stacks have been launched on Orbitera.
Google said this acquisition will not only improve the support of software vendors on Google Cloud Platform, but reinforce its support for the multi-cloud world.
