Oracle acquired Nimbula in March 2013. Oracle later grouped the company under cloud infrastructure and management; contemporary coverage described it as a private-cloud company and discussed its Nimbula Director software. The available sources do not establish the purchase price or what happened to that software after the acquisition.
When did Oracle buy Nimbula?
Oracle’s 2014 investor presentation lists “Nimbula (Mar 2013),” placing the acquisition in March 2013. The presentation is a retrospective acquisition listing, not a detailed announcement of the transaction’s terms. Oracle Corporation’s FY15 Strategy Conference presentation (July 1, 2014)
What was Nimbula?
Oracle classified Nimbula’s business as cloud infrastructure and management. At the time of the acquisition, Gigaom described Nimbula as a private-cloud pioneer and reported on Nimbula Director, its software for private-cloud infrastructure. Gigaom also associated Nimbula with people who had helped create and build Amazon EC2; that is the publication’s characterization. Derrick Harris, Gigaom, March 13, 2013
What is known about the deal—and what is not?
The cited sources establish the acquisition’s month and year and provide broad context about Nimbula’s business. They do not state a purchase price or detailed transaction terms. They also do not document whether Nimbula Director was later integrated into another Oracle product, continued as a separate product, or discontinued. Those outcomes should not be inferred from the acquisition listing alone.
