Boomi is reported to have previously raised $4 million in venture capital funding. Boomi says it manages "millions of transactions" a month and has completed "tens of thousands of cloud integrations" for "hundreds of customers" globally.
Boomi's software, dubbed Atomsphere, lets businesses swap information back and forth between the programs on their PCs and those running online, without compelling them to buy additional software or hardware, such as servers. The idea is that businesses save money on installation, as well as time and productivity, since employees won't have to manually enter data into websites anymore.
The acquisition is Dell's third this year following Ocarina Networks and Exanet. Dell was also involved in a bidding war with HP for storage company 3PAR, which it eventually lost out on.
