AnsibleWorks Raises Millions

August 26, 2013

AnsibleWorks is among the latest open source based enterprise companies to raise millions in Series A funding. The five-month old company has made a name in open source IT automation. Read more in the Market Wire article, “AnsibleWorks Raises $6 Million to Grow Popular Open Source Enterprise IT Automation Solution.”

The article begins:

“AnsibleWorks, Inc., the company behind Ansible, the popular Open Source IT automation solution, announced today the completion of a $6 million dollar round of funding led by Menlo Ventures. The Series A funding, coming only five months after the company’s launch, will be used to accelerate product development, sales, and other key initiatives.”

This is yet another example of open source enterprise success. Companies are turning to open source solutions, and it is not just for the affordability. Open source is now on the leading edge of innovation and customers are pleased with the results. Just as AnsibleWorks is doing great things in IT automation, LucidWorks is doing great things in open source enterprise solutions, particularly with Big Data. Their innovative approach to Big Data combines several notable open source components, including Apache Lucene Solr and Hadoop.
