Nimbula secures $15M in Series B funding

At the end of June, cloudcomputing.info reported about a new startup in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing market: Nimbula.

Founded by the pioneers of EC2 at Amazon, with the founder and former CEO of VMware Diane Greene, Nimbula’s mission is to allow companies to build an on-premises clone of EC2, with similar scalability and performance.

At its public launch the company already announced a first round of investment equal to $5.75M, provided by Sequoia Capital and VMware. Just a couple of months later, it announced a second one: $15M, provided by Accel Partners.
