PerspecSys, a Canada-based provider of enterprise cloud data protection services, has raised $12m in its series B round from a consortium including chip maker Intel’s corporate venturing unit.
Alongside Intel Capital in the round were venture capital firms Paladin Capital Group and Ascent Venture Partners, which both co-led, and other existing investors.
In May 2011, Intel Capital led the $8m A round for PerspecSys, which included existing investors Growthworks and MaRS Investment Accelerator Fund. Sean Cunningham, investment director at Intel Capital, said: “PerspecSys fits well into our cloud security investment strategy and is complimentary with Intel’s Cloud 2015 vision.”
