Sentilla raises $15m in funding to target data center clients
Data center efficiency software firm Sentilla Corporation has raised $15 million in new financing to help it expand sales and marketing.
“Sentilla’s technology of maximizing business value from IT organizations addresses a critical need — not just for the telecommunications industry, but also in other enterprises that are looking to leverage IT to drive greater revenue and profitability,” said Yvonne Kwek, CEO of SingTel Innov8 Ventures, which led the new financing round, with participation from Sentilla’s existing backers, ONSET Ventures and Claremont Creek Ventures.
Sentilla is targeting customers whose IT executives are increasingly being asked to support new business initiatives with shrinking budgets. It says its software provides an immediate, granular view of data centers that can enable IT departments to function as profit centers instead of financial burdens.
“We’re leading the charge to turn IT upside down and deliver more services using less resources,”said Mike Kaul, CEO of Sentilla.
Sentilla’s features include the patent-pending Sentilla Virtual Meters, which computes the power consumption of unmetered data center assets, performs “what-if” analysis to predict future performance, and tracks and predicts application performance and energy used in both virtual and dedicated environments.
