"This represents a resounding validation of RightScale's leadership in cloud management and our tremendous potential for expansion in the fast-evolving cloud computing market," said Michael Crandell (pictured), CEO of RightScale this week, as the company announced that it has closed a new round of venture funding led by Tenaya Capital and joined by DAG Ventures and other current investors – Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures and Presidio Ventures.

"We will continue to drive innovation in cloud automation and workflow, add to our current enterprise capabilities, and enhance our RightScale publishing program,"Randall - who is also speaking at Cloud Expo Silicon Valley - continued.

He added:

"In addition, we plan to expand our support for new public and private cloud infrastructures globally, including accelerating our existing operations in Europe and Asia."
