We’re excited to announce that we’ve closed a $20M C Round with NEA and other previous investors, including Core Capital, bringing our total funding to $34M. In addition, we’re consolidating our branding and our company now will be known as Fugue—that’s the name of the cloud operating system we’re developing. The rapid adoption of cloud computing brings new challenges as applications have become distributed and infrastructure has proliferated. Fugue reins in this complexity and simplifies operations by building, enforcing, and optimizing cloud infrastructure, continuously and automatically. Fugue can be used to operate cloud-native workloads and to migrate and run traditional data center applications in the cloud. It will initially operate workloads on Amazon Web Services. Read more...
Luminal announced its first product, Fugue, at AWS re:Invent on stage with Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon. Fugue is immutable infrastructure realized. It fully automates the deployment, operations and maintenance of infrastructure on AWS. By continuously regenerating infrastructure components, Fugue enforces desired state, removes unwanted changes, and mitigates infrastructure quality issues like noisy neighbors. Fugue uses Ludwig, a domain-specific language that allows you to compose infrastructure using libraries and other programming techniques. With Ludwig, you can error check at design time rather than in production. We invite you to read why we built Fugue and register for beta. Below is Luminal CEO Josh Stella introducing Fugue on stage with Werner Vogels at AWS re:Invent.
We should have some ways of coupling programs like garden hose - screw in another segment when it becomes necessary to massage data in another way. Doug McIlroy, Bell Labs – October 11, 1964 At Luminal, we're unabashed fans of Unix and the Unix Philosophy. Last year, we marked the 49th anniversary of the Unix pipe (|) and we'd be remiss not to mark this year's golden date. You can revisit last year's #Pipeday post to learn more about why the | set the course for a standard software interface, as well as the accompanying modularity in computing. For the 50th anniversary, we thought it would be fun to turn it over to members of our growing team to find out what the | means to them. Pipes mean simplicity and composability for me. Simple functions tend to be easy to reason about,...
Luminal, a Maryland-based startup developing next-generation solutions for cloud operations and management, announced it has closed a $10M Series B financing round, led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA). Previous investors, including Core Capital Partners and the Maryland Venture Fund, also participated in the round. This brings Luminal’s total amount of financing to $13.8M. “This investment led by NEA will allow us to grow our team and expand our beta customer base in advance of general availability of our product,” said Josh Stella, founder and CEO of Luminal. “We’re building solutions from first principles to tackle hard problems in computing, and the strong support we’ve received from NEA, Core Capital, the Maryland Venture Fund, and our other investors helps make that possible.”
We’re thrilled to have won the top prize in the InvestMaryland Challenge, (cybersecurity category) last night. It was a fun evening, and we’re honored to have won in a category with such tough competitors including Light Point Security and fellow Core Capital Partners and NEA portfolio company ZeroFox. Congrats to all the winners and finalists! Read about it at the Baltimore Business Journal and the Baltimore Sun.
From Lizzy McLellan’s article on Luminal in The Daily Record: The exterior walls of Luminal’s downtown Frederick headquarters are made of brick. But the company isn’t focused on walls. Its software aims to make a computer system more secure from the inside, instead of relying only on exterior defenses. Read the full article in PDF format.
We’re excited to announce that Luminal has closed a $3.8MM Series A financing round with Core Capital Partners, Maryland Venture Fund, New Enterprise Associates, and other investors. The round includes the conversion of $1.1MM in convertible debt the company raised in August 2012. Luminal is addressing deficiencies in traditional computing architectures that perpetuate operational complexity and security vulnerabilities. The company is working with early customers to further develop its solution for general availability, initially on Amazon Web Services. The current model for computing is broken, and bad actors are racing far ahead of available defenses. We’re taking advantage of the nature of cloud computing to deliver native security, declarative control, and operational...
