Leading organizations across industries (including technology,
manufacturing, retail, oil & gas, healthcare,
telecommunications, defense and intelligence agencies) are relying
on Spectro Cloud’s Palette software platform to help accelerate
their Kubernetes adoption. By helping companies improve operating
efficiency and more effectively run mission-critical application
workloads, Spectro Cloud has achieved three consecutive years of
triple-digit ARR growth.
“What IT leaders need today is a modern approach to
comprehensive, full lifecycle management for Kubernetes at scale,
one that is optimized to support the unique needs of data centers,
clouds, and the edge,” said Tenry Fu, CEO and co-founder of Spectro
Cloud. “We founded Spectro Cloud five years ago aiming to make
Kubernetes easy to manage and consume in any environment, and this
investment from Goldman Sachs is validation of the tremendous
opportunity we have ahead of us.”
“In the past five years, Spectro Cloud has established itself as
a leader in helping organizations realize the true potential of
Kubernetes and cloud native technologies, making it more accessible
and manageable at scale, across any environment,” said Michael
Reilly, an Investor at Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives
who will be joining Spectro Cloud’s Board of Directors. “The
incredible success Tenry and his team have achieved proves that
enterprises are realizing the value. We are excited for the
opportunity ahead in multi-cluster environments, especially bare
metal deployments in data centers for VM and GPU management, and AI
inference at the edge, which could drive tremendous growth.”
Spectro Cloud will use its Series C funding to accelerate
product innovation, particularly in the uniquely complex area of
edge computing, and to invest in continuing to offer award-winning
customer experience and support, and scale new go-to-market
partnerships and technology alliances.
