The startup nation is growing and scintillating with many technological ideas, but not everyone always takes the idea and turns it into a reality without an investment.

Israeli company Velostrata, which is developing the first hybrid cloud solution that also works in real-time, announced the completion of a $17.5 million financing round led by Intel Capital, Intel’s investment arm participation of previous investors Norwest Venture Partners and 83North Venture Capital.
The technology developed by Velostrata enables organizations to stream calculation tasks from the client’s website to the cloud and back within minutes, without copying the data or the software themselves to the cloud, thereby maintaining optimal performance. According to the company, the solution it has developed is the only one that accommodates on-demand hybrid cloud architecture for core organizational apps. Simultaneously, there is no need to make changes in the apps, the operating system, the data location, the method of storing them, and their management. In other words, an organization’s personnel can continue using the same tools and processes for managing the calculation infrastructure that they have become used to. The transfer of calculation tasks to and from the cloud is done by clicking on a button.
Israeli company Sedona Systems raises $13.6 million.
Sedona Systems announced a $13.6 million Series B financing round led by Intel Capital, with participation from new investor NexStar Partners and existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners.
Sedona Systems develops technology designed to improve the connectivity of networks throughout the world and data centers’ efficiency. It does this with the help of a combination of layers that currently operate independently and do not communicate with each other. By merging two of these layers, it is possible to attain control, receive information, and optimize the organizational network. The company’s technology makes it possible to obtain a great deal of information from the SDN controllers on two layers, such as the volume of traffic and alerts, thereby benefiting from greater reliability on the network. According to the company, organizations can save up to 50% of their communications infrastructure costs through the optimization it offers. NetFusion, the product developed by the company, works with the equipment of all the recognized manufacturers. Once installed, it works automatically and is transparent to the user.
