From PC World: Salesforce.com has signed a definite agreement to acquire Coolan, the developer of a platform for data center hardware analysis and optimization.
The acquisition appears to be designed to help Salesforce boost its own infrastructure for its customer relationship management software.
“Once the transaction has closed, the Coolan team will help Salesforce optimize its infrastructure as it scales to support customer growth around the world,” Amir Michael, Coolan’s cofounder and CEO wrote in a blog post on Thursday.
A Salesforce spokeswoman confirmed the acquisition. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Salesforce selected Amazon Web Services in May as its preferred public cloud infrastructure provider to help bring new infrastructure online in select international markets. The company said it would continue to invest in its own data centers.
