Sun Microsystems announced it has acquired Q-layer, a cloud computing company that automates the deployment and management of both public and private clouds.
The Q-layer organization, based in Belgium, will become part of Sun's Cloud Computing business unit.
The Q-layer technology simplifies cloud management and allows users to provision and deploy applications, a key component in Sun's strategy to enable building public and private clouds. As businesses continue to rely more on technology to drive mission-critical processes, the agility of the datacenter determines the flexibility of the entire company. Q-layer software supports provisioning of services such as servers, storage, bandwidth and applications, enabling users to scale their own environments to meet their specific requirements.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed as the transaction is not material to Sun.
