Prosimo
CEO: Ramesh Prabagaran
Founded in 2019, enterprise infrastructure disruptor Prosimo emerged from stealth mode with its Application eXperience Infrastructure (AXI) platform that’s modernizing and simplifying application delivery and experience across multi-cloud environments. The Prosimo platform can coexist with existing vendors in a customer’s environment or can be used to replace certain tools and features, such as zero-trust or cloud peering, according to the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company.
The startup, which is focused on collapsing multi-cloud networking, security and application performance, is backed by $25 million in Series A funding. The company in October updated its platform to target multi-cloud applications in transit.
