Solo.io, the
software company that helps enterprises adopt and operate innovative cloud
native technologies, formally launched and unveiled its newest product: Gloo
Enterprise (GlooE), an enterprise grade API gateway based on Solo.io’s popular open source Gloo project. GlooE is
designed to bring enterprise users to the forefront of modern technologies at
the pace that best fits them and supports them in maintaining a competitive
edge as new technologies emerge. The company also announced an $11 million Series A funding round led by Redpoint Ventures.
“Helping enterprises easily adopt innovative technologies like microservices,
serverless and service mesh is our goal at Solo.io,”
said Idit Levine, founder and CEO of Solo.io.
“Melding different technologies into one coherent environment, by supplying a
suite of tools to route, debug, manage, monitor and secure applications, lets organizations
focus on their software without worrying about the complexity of the underlying
environment.”
Digital transformation is a challenge for every organization today. Enterprises
are looking for a bridge from their existing way of doing things to the new
world of cloud native technologies like microservices, serverless and service
mesh. They are struggling to navigate the explosion of options available and
are worried about investing heavily in any path that will lead to a dead end.
Solo.io gives enterprises a clear pathway to
the future. Solo.io’s suite of tools allows
enterprises to connect the old world of stable, well-tested applications that
are hard to change with the newer, flexible world of microservices, serverless
and service mesh. New features can be added to existing applications without
having to rebuild entire legacy codebases, allowing enterprises to respond to
business demands today without first completing painful multi-year
transformation programs.
Solo.io’s newest product, GlooE, along with Solo.io’s SuperGloo service mesh orchestrator, adds
enterprise features including audit controls, single-sign-on and advanced
security. GlooE enables enterprises to ‘glue’ application components together
from different paradigms to create all new functionality and to gradually
migrate to multi-cloud at a pace that suits them with the confidence that comes
with full enterprise support.
The Solo.io team has extensive expertise
in cloud management, microservices, distributed architectures and open source
software. Solo.io’s existing open source
tools including UniK, Squash, Sqoop, Gloo and SuperGloo have more than 4,000
stars on GitHub between them.
