Paris-based EfficientIP raises $11 million Series B to expand its DDI solution internationally

EfficientIP, the Paris-based startup working in network security and automation, has raised an $11 million Series B round from Jolt Capital. EfficientIP keeps businesses online and protects them from data loss by making the IP infrastructure reliable, agile, and secure. The company provides a DDI solution, which encompasses Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and IP address management. Companies across all sectors use EfficientIP to solve tricky IT issues that span from cloud and in-house computing, so they can grow rapidly and securely. The french startup is the first company to have patented and released award-winning DNS infrastructure security solution, such as its DNS Blast and edge GSLB. With the new funding, EfficientIP is also hoping to forge more partnerships, adding to existing partnerships with Cisco, VMWare, and ServiceNow.

Commenting on the Series B, CEO David Williamson said:  “Today’s investment will enable us to accelerate our expansion on a global scale. The market opportunity for DDI solutions is growing, and we look forward to capitalizing by increasing our sales force to meet current demand, and driving further innovation that really matters to continue satisfying tomorrow's customer needs.
