OpenStack consultancy Mirantis has raised a $100M funding round led by a cadre of venture capital firms and the company’s CEO says he hopes to take the company public in 2016.
The move would mark the first major company that has focused almost entirely on OpenStack to go public. The funding round is a massive cash infusion for Mirantis as it looks to compete with some big named vendors involved in OpenStack, including HP, Rackspace, Cisco, Dell and many others.
