Robert Buderi 1/4/08

Boston-based storage software provider Onaro, whose customer list includes Jet Blue Airways, State Street Global Advisors, and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, will be acquired by California data management firm NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP), the companies announced yesterday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but a report in TechCrunch, citing Israeli reports (Onaro’s roots are apparently in Israel), put the sales price at $120 million. Onaro’s VC investors include the Cedar Fund and Newbury Ventures, which invested just $10 million in Onaro, according to TechCrunch.
