Cloudbolt Software to Acquire Kumolus, a Fast-Growing Innovator of Cloud Cost Management, Security, and Governance Solutions

CloudBolt Software, the enterprise leader in cloud management and integration solutions, announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Kumolus, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. The acquisition strengthens CloudBolt’s cloud management platform with a rich set of cost management, security, and governance capabilities while positioning the company for rapid growth in APAC. The acquisition comes on the heels of CloudBolt’s SovLabs acquisition and is subject to customary closing and regulatory approvals.

The addition of Kumolus to CloudBolt aligns to the growing needs that enterprises will demand as they advance the adoption of hybrid cloud. According to Flexera’s 2020 State of the Cloud Report, the top three challenges include security (83 percent of enterprises), managing cloud spend (82 percent), and governance (79 percent). In addition, Gartner states that by 2023, 90% of enterprises will make governance their primary requirement when selecting cloud management tooling, up from less than 30% in 2020.
