Chet Kapoor, CEO of Sonoa Systems is eyeing to take away a fair share from $95 billion cloud computing market. “The new investment will support and extend the capabilities of Sonoa’s cloud gateway to address the growing need for businesses to provide and use cloud services now by making them secure, compliant, fast, and work with the existing IT. The market momentum Sonoa has gained clearly demonstrates the industry’s demand for solutions that solve the critical issues organizations face when opening Web services to large numbers of diverse customers, ” said Kapoor.
