NetApp to Acquire Akorri for Data Center Optimization Tools
NetApp agreed to acquire Akorri Networks, a start-up focused on data center optimization, for an undisclosed sum.
Akorri’s BalancePoint software uses cross-domain analysis and advanced analytics to help manage, optimize, and plan performance and utilization across data center infrastructure. The software helps identify performance bottlenecks and improve storage capacity planning.
NetApp said Akorri’s technology helps extends its own “NetApp OnCommand” with performance capacity analytics to provide customers greater visibility across the entire IT stack.http://www.netapp.comhtttp://www.akorri.com

Akorri was founded by Rich Corley, who previously was the founder and Executive Vice President at Pirus Networks, which was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2002. Previously, Rich was Director of Advanced Technology at Nortel.
Akorri was founded in 2005 and is based in Littleton, Massachusetts.

You just read about NetApp. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
SolidFire built Scale-out all-flash storage with guaranteed quality of service for cloud providers. What became of it?
SolidFire brought Scale-out all-flash storage with guaranteed quality of service for cloud providers to Storage. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by NetApp for US$870M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside NetApp today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
