Morphlabs, Inc.

The company's core business revolved around providing OpenStack-based solutions for creating and managing public and private clouds. This was delivered through a combination of optimized hardware and open-source software, designed to lower IT costs and accelerate market entry for their clients. Morphlabs targeted enterprises and cloud service providers, offering them a modular and scalable architecture to build out their cloud infrastructure without the reliance on traditional, more expensive blade/SAN systems. Revenue was generated through the sale of these converged infrastructure solutions and potentially through pay-per-use packages.

The flagship product was the mCloud platform, which came in several variations. The mCloud Data Center Unit (DCU) was a hardware appliance that converted commodity hardware into a cloud environment. In 2012, the company launched the mCloud Helix, a compact, all-SSD private cloud infrastructure built on Dell PowerEdge C servers, which aimed to set a new standard for energy efficiency. For public cloud deployments, Morphlabs offered mCloud On-Demand, a management platform that utilized Amazon EC2 to simplify the deployment and management of applications, featuring a graphical drag-and-drop interface and self-healing capabilities.

Founder Winston Damarillo, who served as CEO, was a serial entrepreneur with a history of successful ventures, including Gluecode Software, which was acquired by IBM in 2005. Yoram Heller served as the company's COO. Under their leadership, Morphlabs secured a total of $20.5 million in funding over several rounds, including a Series C round of $5 million in 2011 and a Series D round of $10 million in 2013, with investors like Tallwood Venture Capital and Frontera Capital.
