"Summit Partners' deep experience in the infrastructure and DevOps
sectors will help MacStadium capitalize on new market opportunities and
accelerate the execution of our long-term business plans," said Gregory

growing iOS software developers worldwide."
"MacStadium is a clear leader in the developer-focused cloud
infrastructure services market," said Michael

company's continued growth."
Mike Elliott, General Partner with Noro-Moseley Partners who has joined
