Infosys Ltd has invested $4 million to pick up a minority stake in Cloudyn Ltd, an Israeli company that makes software for monitoring and optimizing cloud computing, marking the Bengaluru-headquartered firm's second investment in an Israel-based cloud-computing start-up from the company's $500 million innovation fund.
Last year, Infosys invested $4 million to pick a minority stake in Cloud Endure Ltd, an Israeli-based start-up, which offers solutions to help large companies move applications to cloud and cloud-based Disaster Recovery software.
Privately-held Cloudyn, which was founded in 2011, is estimated to have revenue of $3 million and counts many Fortune 1000 firms as its customers. Cloudyn's software helps chief information officers at large enterprises keep a tab and manage the usage of cloud computing when bought from service providers, like Amazon Web Services.
Infosys expects to complete the transaction by 15 August.
