Google <\/a> today announced<\/a> its intention to acquire<\/a> Alooma, a company that allows enterprises to combine all of their data sources into services like Google\u2019s BigQuery, Amazon\u2019s Redshift, Snowflake and Azure. The promise of Alooma\u00a0is <\/a> that handles the data pipelines and manages for its users. In addition to this data integration service, though, Alooma also helps<\/a> with migrating to the cloud, cleaning up this data and then using it for AI and machine learning use cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere at Google Cloud, we\u2019re committed to helping enterprise customers easily and securely migrate their data to our platform,\u201d Google VP of engineering Amit Ganesh and Google Cloud Platform director of product management Dominic Preuss write today. \u201cThe addition of Alooma, subject to closing conditions, is a natural fit that allows us to offer customers a streamlined, automated migration experience to Google Cloud, and give them access to our full range of database services, from managed open source database offerings to solutions like Cloud Spanner and Cloud Bigtable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before the acquisition, Alooma had raised about $15 million, including an $11.2 million Series A round\u00a0ed by\u00a0Lightspeed Venture Partners and\u00a0Sequoia Capital\u00a0in early 2016<\/a>. The two companies did not disclose the price of the acquisition, but chances are we are talking about a modest price given how much Alooma had previously raised.<\/p>\n

Neither Google now Alooma said much about what will happen to the existing products and customers \u2014 and whether it will continue to support migrations to Google\u2019s competitors. We\u2019ve reached out to Google and will update this post once we hear more.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>. Here is <\/em>Google statement about the future of the platform:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

For now, it\u2019s business as usual for Alooma and Google Cloud as we await regulatory approvals and complete the deal. After close, the team will be joining us in our Tel Aviv and Sunnyvale offices, and we will be leveraging the Alooma technology and team to provide our Google Cloud customers with a great data migration service in the future.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Alooma\u2019s co-founder do stress, though, that \u201cthe journey is not over.\u201d \u201cAlooma has always aimed to provide the simplest and most efficient path toward standardizing enterprise data from every source and transforming it into actionable intelligence,\u201d they write<\/a>. \u201cJoining Google Cloud will bring us one step closer to delivering a full self-service database migration experience bolstered by the power of their cloud technology, including analytics, security, AI, and machine learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
