(Reuters) - Cloud storage firm Nasuni has been valued at about $1.2 billion through a majority investment led by Vista Equity Partners, the companies said on Tuesday.

Private equity firms TCV and KKR & Co. will join Vista in investing in Boston-based Nasuni, which provides hybrid cloud solutions to over 850 enterprise customers.

The transaction, for which no further details were disclosed, is expected to close in the coming weeks.

The investment in Nasuni, which was founded in 2009, comes after Vista and Blackstone completed their acquisition of Australia's energy market software provider Energy Exemplar. Vista also acquired a majority stake in TRG Screen in October 2023.

In April, healthcare IT firm Model N entered an agreement to be taken private by Vista for about $1.25 billion. Vista had also announced the sale of PowerSchool Holdings to Bain Capital in take-private transaction valued at about $5.6 billion in June.

BofA Securities served as the exclusive financial advisor to Nasuni. KKR will make its investment through the Next Generation Technology III Fund.

  • Analysis-China faces growing scepticism over its commitment to decade-old policy pledges

    As imbalances in China's economy deepen, pressure is growing on Beijing to deliver on the decade-old policy promises it revived at an agenda-setting leadership meeting last week, having failed to achieve major breakthroughs in recent years. Faced with deflationary pressures and weak demand at home and increased hostility towards its export dominance abroad, the twice a decade political event, known as a plenum, chose to point towards policy continuity rather than any structural shifts. The plenum "has clearly not been a game changer in terms of the reforms announced, especially given the challenges ahead both externally and domestically," said Alicia Garcia Herrero, chief Asia Pacific economist at Natixis.

  • Signs the Fed is on the cusp of emerging from 'elevated' inflation blues

    In September 2021, after absorbing three months of price hikes that were more than double the Federal Reserve's 2% target, U.S. central bank staff and policymakers shifted from their more passive tone about inflation and began describing it as "elevated." Triggered after the personal consumption expenditures price index used by the Fed to set its inflation target topped 4% in May, June and July of that year, the elevated inflation description remains in the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee's policy statement to this day, even with the PCE now down to 2.6% and, it seems, still falling. The Fed's policy meeting next week may finally usher the word out the door.

Kim’s arrest came after the Seoul Southern District Court approved an arrest warrant, citing concerns that he could flee or destroy evidence.
