Technology company IBM announced the acquisition of Databand.ai , an Israel-based data observability software provider that helps organizations fix issues with their data.
This is IBM’s fifth acquisition in 2022 as the company continues to bolster its hybrid cloud and AI skills and capabilities.
IBM has acquired more than 25 companies since Arvind Krishna became CEO in April 2020.
Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Databand.ai employees will join IBM Data and AI, building on IBM’s growing portfolio of Data and AI products, including its IBM Watson capabilities and IBM Cloud Pak for Data.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition closed on June 27, 2022.
“With the addition of Databand.ai, IBM offers the most comprehensive set of observability capabilities for IT across applications, data and machine learning,” said Daniel Hernandez, General Manager for Data and AI, IBM.
Databand.ai’s open and extendable approach allows data engineering teams to easily integrate and gain observability into their data infrastructure.
Databand.ai capabilities can alert data teams and engineers when the data they are using to fuel an analytics system is incomplete or missing.
Enterprises will have full flexibility in how to run Databand.ai, whether as-a-Service (SaaS) or a self-hosted software subscription, said IBM.
