Yesterday (21st January 2020), saw an announcement from VMware and Nyansa (pronounced “knee-ans-sah”) sharing the intent of VMware to acquire Nyansa.\u00a0 Nyansa are a relatively young company creating innovative AI-based IT infrastructure analytics software.\u00a0 VMware appear to be looking to align this acquisition to their SD-WAN portfolio (Velocloud) to help drive the development of truly self-healing networks.<\/p>\n

It’s often interesting to take a look at how some of these younger companies describe themselves, and Nyansa has a good ‘About Us’ section, here is a snippet:<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019re Nyansa (\u201cknee-ann sah\u201d). It\u2019s a word from the Akan language spoken in Ghana that means wisdom from learning. Go figure. Engineers named the company, what do you expect?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah we\u2019re weird\u2013\u2013but wonderfully humble. Unlike a lot of folks, we don\u2019t think of ourselves more highly than we ought, but we ARE wickedly smart.’\u00a0 – https:\/\/www.nyansa.com\/company\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Nyansa are headquartered in Palo Alto, California.\u00a0 They are a privately held company founded in September 2013.\u00a0 They currently have over 50 employees and have around 20 million devices under analysis each month.<\/p>\n

I can certainly see this as a good acquisition for VMware and could see the capabilities of their software being developed and utilised in other products from VMware, as well as the LAN\/WAN elements proposed during the acquisition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
