HTBase operated as a software-defined infrastructure company, founded in 2015 by Bruno Andrade. The firm developed a platform that consolidated compute, storage, and networking into a single, hardware-agnostic resource pool. This technology was designed for enterprise IT teams, enabling them to create a composable and fluid infrastructure that could scale according to business demands.
The company's core offering, a composable operating system, provided a platform for software-defined enterprise multicloud environments. Its primary value was in abstracting the underlying hardware, which allowed for seamless workload and data migration between different private and public clouds without requiring data transformation. This addressed a significant operational complexity for organizations adopting multi-cloud strategies. HTBase also provided native persistent storage and networking to containers, a key feature for developing and managing stateful applications in a distributed environment.
HTBase's main product was known as Juke, a multi-cloud container platform. Juke was engineered to function as a latency-aware, software-defined file system spanning on-premises and public cloud resources like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. This allowed developers to build stateful multi-cloud applications without managing the underlying storage complexities, while infrastructure teams could establish policies based on performance, cost, and compliance.
After securing a seed funding round on May 10, 2017, from investors including MaRS Discovery District and NorthSpring Capital Partners, HTBase was acquired by Juniper Networks on December 7, 2018. Juniper integrated HTBase's technology and the Juke platform into its Contrail Enterprise Multicloud portfolio to enhance its multi-cloud storage, automation, and management capabilities.
