Cloud computing promotes technology innovation emerging cloud computing companies are acquiring rapid growth

Entrepreneurship refers to being a company that runs for a short period of time and is usually born out of a new idea, and the founders who have some of the same goals evolve until they are acquired or run independently. When a large company buys another small company, it is usually based on the following reasons-the products, employees, or markets of a small company.

With the new technology of cloud computing, a great deal of innovation arises. As a result, emerging companies are booming. While some companies have potential crises (reminiscent of the internet bubble Warning), the business model and technology being scrutinized are more stringent (see: Cloud computing is overvalued?). Over the past few weeks, we've seen a number of events in which cloud computing startups have been bought by big companies.

Here are three of them, sorted chronologically.

The first acquisition, is the network company http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13361.html "> Citrix, which bought cloud.com in mid-July, is a rumor that it is worth at least $2 million trillion and could be as high as $5 million. Cloud.com's product cloudstack, an Open-source OpenStack project, allows companies to build internal private clouds like Amazon's "EC2" on their traditional data centers. In addition, in intellectual property, Si Jie obtains the impressive customer of cloud.com, including the roster of Zynga (see: Zynga, newest cloud computing success), Tata Communications Company, Bechtel Company and GoDaddy visit. The acquisition also brought a large number of talents to Citrix, including Cloud.com president Shengliang, who will continue to lead the design, structure and technology of the Cloudstack product line, and to the vice President of Citrix and the newly established Cloud Platform product group general manager Sameer Mr. Dholakia report to work.

The second acquisition is the Taiwanese hardware giant Acer, which buys Igware 3.2 million of billions of dollars and will pay another $750,000 if the performance is outstanding. Acer plans to provide a new service through Igware technology-"macros Cloud" to serve Acer customers and enhance brand value. "Acer says it plans to deploy the macro cloud to all of Acer's products, including PCs, tablets and integrated smart handheld devices." "Through this acquisition, Acer has completed the company from a single hardware provider to the Bulls." While the acquisition is indeed good, some analysts have criticized the takeover logic because Igware has no other major customer than Nintendo. Meanwhile, Acer's chairman, J.T Wang, has said Nintendo supports the acquisition and agreed to pay Acer 20 million-30 million dollars a year after the Acer takeover.

The third and final acquisition is also a Taiwanese company that buys American companies. Taiwan smartphone maker HTC has just announced a takeover of dashwire--, a Seattle company dedicated to synchronizing smartphones in cloud services. Although the terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed, the 18.5 million dollar figure is rumored. Fred Lioda, president of Engineering and operations, said in a press release, "The commitment of cloud services to provide services that can connect to our customers is critical." "People want to be able to access their important information anytime, anywhere, on any device," he said. Dashwire's cutting-edge Sync services and rich mobile cloud experience help us to be more flexible and have room to handle customer relationships. "The acquisition is also expected to strengthen HTC's patent portfolio to repel future lawsuits from rivals, as in a company that has been involved in an Apple lawsuit," he said.
