Orbitera is a U.S.-based provider specializing in cloud services and operates as a subsidiary under Google. The firm delivers an e-commerce solution designed to automate ordering and billing processes within cloud marketplaces.
History
Established in 2012 by Brian Singer and Firas Bushnaq, Orbitera was created to solve software sales difficulties that Singer had encountered in his earlier career. The startup secured $2 million in initial funding from Resolute Ventures and Double M Partners. By 2016, its platform had attracted prominent customers such as Adobe Systems, Red Hat, and Avnet. That same year, Google acquired the company and incorporated it into the Google Cloud Platform ecosystem. In 2018, Orbitera collaborated with mobile device management company MobileIron to launch a cloud software marketplace.
Products
From the beginning, Orbitera’s e-commerce platform has enabled commerce across multiple cloud environments. It facilitates streamlined billing for purchasing and selling cloud services, automates the creation of marketplaces and bundled product offerings, and supports trial experiences through test drives. The 2018 alliance with MobileIron broadened its functionality to include selling service bundles tailored by customer segment, providing personalized branding options, simplifying billing processes, and supporting data, voice, along with third-party cloud solutions.
