As enterprises increasingly migrate their development and test environments, disaster recovery, identity management, and other business-critical applications to the cloud, some components still reside in on-premise data centers, necessitating a hybrid cloud model. Aviatrix helps customers accelerate their hybrid cloud strategies by abstracting, automating, and simplifying networking across data centers and different cloud providers.

'Aviatrix's disruptive vision is to make hybrid cloud networking as simple, dynamic, and elastic as compute and storage,' said Steven Mih, CEO of Aviatrix. 'This is an exciting time for Aviatrix, as we expand on the success of our one-click hybrid cloud networking solution which helps our customers simplify and accelerate migration of their applications to the cloud. We look forward to working with our financial partners and advisory board to further develop our business and continue to bring meaningful cloud networking products to market.'

'CRV looks for talented teams and companies with leadership positions in high growth markets like hybrid cloud networking, and we're very excited to work with Aviatrix to help scale their business and continue their impressive traction,' said Devdutt Yellurkar, general partner, CRV. As part of today's announcement, Yellurkar has joined the Aviatrix board of directors.
