LitBit data center raised $7 million
A few days ago, LitBit, an American operating system developer for industrial fields, launched a data center management software platform. Its purpose is to make it easier to achieve automated data center management, convert different protocols in various data center facilities, and most software developers can use an API to work in IT systems in different times.
Scott Nottebo once worked for Yahoo and Apple, and devoted himself to the strategic operation of the company's data center. He expected that the system would be mainly used by those data center operators who used it for the first time, but it was designed specifically for connecting devices beyond the data center. He expected that Litbit's products would have a broader range of applications and prospects in the future.
After six and a half years as the vice president of data center engineering and operation of Yahoo, Nottebo joined Apple, mainly implementing the infrastructure strategy of the data center. In 2013, he announced his departure from Apple, where he had been designing and developing Litbit products for two years.
Litbit recently obtained a group of venture capital companies led by Storm Venture Capital to raise $7 million in start-up funds. Including Illuminate Venture Capital Company, Correlation Venture Capital Company, and AME Cloud Venture Capital Company of Yang Zhiyuan, co-founder of Yahoo
Users can build their own automation infrastructure applications through the Litbit API, but enterprises also have some integrated monitoring and management infrastructure solutions. For example, RhythmOS software can be used as a pure cloud based service or as a combination of on prem and cloud based services.
More commercial details
Although notbo did not reveal too much detail about litbit's past plans. However, he said that its recently launched products were different from those announced three years ago. Nottebo believes that LitBit will help international enterprises in emerging markets build infrastructure, especially the regulatory environment of some data centers in China, which is often difficult to control.
