DataCore Software acquires MayaData and OpenEBS software
Summary
MayaData created the open source OpenEBS software and sells several tiers of engineering and architecture support to supplement the product. A prior joint venture between the two companies made the acquisition an inevitability, according to Dave Raffo, a senior analyst at Evaluator Group. DataCore selected MayaData as a partner due to OpenEBSs popularity among users, with the software generating 1 million pull requests a month, according to Zabrowski. The success of OpenEBS as a project with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and its increasing adoption among enterprise users also factored into the purchase. "MayaData has earned some really good customers," Zabrowski said, citing media giant Bloomberg and cloud compute provider Digital Ocean as two of its users.
