o Mountain View-Based BigPanda Lands $16 Million in Second Round
Mountain View, Calif. -- BigPanda, the Mountain View-based developer of a platform designed to analyze massive volumes of IT alerts and turn them into actionable insights, said on Thursday it has raised $16 million in its second round of funding, led by Battery Ventures. Previous backers Sequoia Capital and Mayfield also participated. Scott Tobin, a general partner at Battery Ventures, will join the company's board. BigPanda's platform is designed to help companies minimize or prevent IT service disruptions. "Every company today is a software company, and uptime is mission-critical," said CEO Assaf Resnick. "If you're a retailer and your point-of-sale system is down, your business is down. If you're an airline and your reservation system is down, your business is down. Our goal is to make it easy for businesses to quickly detect and resolve IT issue." Clients include Cisco, Caesars, Gap, News Corp., PayPal and Wix.
