(firmenpresse) - AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 05/08/12 -- CopperEgg, Corp., a and analytics company, today announced the addition of tech industry veteran Bob Quillin as CEO, as well as an additional $2.1M to complete their Series A Funding round.

"Cloud computing has grown dramatically over the last few years to address a broader base of customers who have ever increasing demands for speed, simplicity, quality of service and value," said Quillin. "CopperEgg is at the forefront of a second generation of companies who are enabling this mass adoption, through SaaS-based solutions that are smarter, faster, lighter weight, and more accessible than the previous generation of cloud monitoring tools. I'm excited to join CopperEgg to help our customers accelerate their cloud adoption and optimize their infrastructure. This round of investment will expand our product development efforts and go-to-market programs."
Quillin has held executive positions at both startup and public companies, including Hyper9 (acquired by SolarWinds in 2011), EMC Lonix (acquired by VMware in 2010), and nLayers (acquired by EMC in 2005). He has a BA in Mathematical Science from The Johns Hopkins University and a MSEE from George Washington University.
