The startup that helped to stabilize Twitter's problematic platform has scored $10.5 million in a funding round.
Mesosphere, the open source software startup credited with reducing Twitter's infamous "Fail Whale" glitches, will invest the funds in new products and commercial support, PCMag.com reported.
Andreessen Horowitz, a current investor, led the Series A round of funding, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The company, which works with Airbnb and Hubspot as well as Twitter, trains organizations to see their data center as a giant computer to use resources to their best advantage and streamline operations.
"Managing your data center as if it's a single computer is the holy grail of cloud computing, and Mesosphere actually delivers on that compelling vision," investor Brad Silverberg said in a statement.
In the future, data centers will be transformed as mobile and cloud computing become more prevalent.
"Every data center on the planet is looking at the likes of Twitter and Facebook and Google and saying, how can I get similar economic scale and flexibility like what those Silicon Valley folks are getting?" Andreessen Horowitz General Partner Peter Levine told WSJ.
Mesosphere software, which essentially brings individual computers into one giant computer, is also used by eBay and Netflix.
"The data center is broken, and we fixed it, like Google," Mesosphere Chief Executive Florian Leibert told WSJ. "Developers will never have to worry about scaling issues again."
Valuation for the startup has not been disclosed. Mesosphere initially raised $2.25 million in seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Foundation Capital and SV Angel.
