Software-based networking company Vyatta closed a $12m funding round on Tuesday, with participation from investors including enterprise software corporation Citrix Systems and financial services firm JP Morgan.
The series D round was led by HighBar Partners, while fellow venture capital (VC) firm ArrowPath Venture Partners also contributed, bringing US-based Vyatta’s overall funding to more than $45m.
Citrix previously led Vyatta’s $10.1m series C round in March 2010, with participation from ArrowPath, as well as telecom and internet company Comcast’s corporate venturing fund and VC firm Panorama Capital.
Comcast Interactive Capital had already led Vyatta’s series B round, which raised $11.3m in April 2007 from investors also including JP Morgan, ArrowPath and VC firm ComVentures, all of which contributed to Vyatta’s series A round, which raised $7.5m in 2006. ComVentures has since merged with the Velocity Investment Group to become Fuse Capital.
Vyatta has develops a network operating system that runs in all virtual environments, independently from any specific platform, and allows users to secure and connect virtual, cloud and physical infrastructures while supporting their applications. Vyatta will use the cash to enhance its sales and engineering teams in order to drive further growth.
