US-based IT design service Adaptivity has closed a $6m round of financing from corporate venturing unit Intel Capital, and venture capital firms Intersouth Partners and Noro-Moseley Partners. The investment will come in two tranches of $3m, the first of which was made in July.
Adaptivity closed a series A round of $10.3m, in November 2010, capped off by $3m from Intel Capital. The remainder of the investment had been made the month before by Intersouth and Noro-Moseley.
Bryan Wolf, managing director at Intel Capital, said: "Large enterprises are increasingly interested in cloud computing technologies, data centre transformation and application optimisation. Adaptivity’s software suite is well positioned to take advantage of this market trend by enabling IT organisations to transition to the Cloud, consolidate and optimise infrastructure and improve infrastructure performance and agility, optimise applications, and meet compliance and risk requirements."
Adaptivity also announced two new appointments. Lee Congdon, currently the chief information officer of open source software company Red Hat, has joined Adaptivity’s board of directors, while Robert MacFarlane, formerly of financial firm Wells Fargo, has been hired as chief technology officer.
