Sysdig, the cloud-native intelligence company, today announced it raised US$68.5million in series D funding, led by Insight Venture Partners, with participation from previous investors, Bain Capital Ventures and Accel.
This round of funding brings Sysdig’s total funding to date to US$121.5million. Sysdig will use the funds to extend its leadership in enabling enterprises to operate reliable and secure containerised infrastructure and cloud-native applications.
Cloud-enabling technology market
451 Research predicts the cloud-enabling technology market to grow to US$39.6billion through 2020, and containers are predicted to be the fastest growing segment of that market at 40%. Gartner predicts that “by 2020, more than 50% of global organisations will be running containerised applications in production, up from less than 20% today.”
“As enterprises accelerate their move to cloud-native applications, they recognise the need for a new breed of solutions that will enable them to meet performance, reliability, security, and compliance requirements,” comments Richard Wells, Managing Director at Insight Venture Partners.
Container-based applications
“Sysdig’s novel approach of tapping an entirely new data source that provides both security and monitoring for container-based applications has proven more effective, more scalable, and higher ROI.”
This round of funding also accelerates the strong momentum and rapid growth Sysdig has experienced over the last year.
