Alooma, which was founded in 2013 and now based in Redwood City, California, is an enterprise data pipeline platform, which means it helps customers migrate data cloud. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Just last Tuesday, Kurian spoke about how Google Cloud plans to expand its sales team and refocus on vertical industries to go after more enterprise customers .With Alooma, Google Cloud hopes to attract more enterprise customers and move them onto its cloud, giving them access to its database, analytics, security and artificial intelligence services.
"One of the things were most excited about with Alooma is the deep expertise for both enterprise and open source databases that their team brings to Google Cloud, which will be critical in helping us build out additional migration capabilities within Google Cloud Platform," Amit Ganesh, vice president of engineering at Google, and Dominic Preuss, director of product management at Google Cloud Platform, wrote in a statement.
With this acquisition, Google Cloud also plans to expand its footprint in Israel. In May, Google Cloud announced it would acquire Velostrata, an Israeli cloud migration startup.
Alooma has already been a partner of Google Cloud with integrations for Google Ads, Google Analytics, Cloud Spanner, and BigQuery.
"From the very beginning weve been humbled to serve thousands of customers and partners, and grateful for the trust theyve placed in us. We believe that as part of Google Cloud bringing together the best-in-class data migration and integration services we can make our customers and partners even more data driven and successful," Alooma cofounders CEO Yoni Broyde and CTO Yair Weinberger wrote in a statement.
