Akamai Technologies has expanded the scope of its cloud computing capabilities after entering into an agreement to buy Ondat, a UK-based provider of persistent storage solutions.
Ondat's employees, including Founder and CTO Alex Chircop, are set to join Akamai’s cloud computing business.
Akamai's COO and GM of the company's Cloud Technology Group, Adam Karon, said: "Storage is a key component of cloud computing and Ondat’s technology will enhance Akamai’s storage capabilities, allowing us to offer a fundamentally different approach to cloud that integrates core and distributed computing sites with a massively scaled edge network.”
The acquisition is estimated to be finalised in the first quarter of 2023.
