Mumbai: Data centre software provider Arkin Net, Wednesday said it has raised USD 15 million (about Rs 95 crore) in Series B funding (second strategic round) from Nexus Venture Partners and strategic investors, including former chief executive of NetScaler B V Jagadeesh.
The firm that has operations in Pune and the US has launched "a platform to transform data centre operations."
"Arkin is unlocking the potential of software-defined data centres by bringing in data driven visibility, cross domain analytics and collaboration that was largely unknown to the siloed world of IT Operations," said Jishnu Bhattacharjee of Nexus Venture Partners who is now a board member of Arkin.
With a "simple Google search-like experience", the Arkin platform enables organisations to rapidly search, analyse, share and collaborate across virtual and physical layers of their infrastructure, the company said in a statement.
The platform can be deployed on-premise or consumed as a service in the Arkin cloud (SaaS).
The company was co-founded by IITians Shiv Agarwal, Mukul Gupta, Rohit Toshniwal and Abhijit Sharma who were previously employed at VMware, Microsoft and Amberpoint (acquired by Oracle).
