【谷歌翻译 未经校对】Palo Alto Networks今天宣布已达成协议，以4.2亿美元收购CloudGenix。

CloudGenix  delivers a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) that helps customers stay secure by setting policies to enforce compliance with company security protocols across distributed locations. This is especially useful for companies with a lot of branch offices or a generally distributed workforce, something just about everyone is dealing with at the moment as we find millions suddenly working from home.

CloudGenix提供了软件定义的广域网（SD-WAN），可通过设置策略来强制实施跨分布式位置的公司安全协议来帮助客户保持安全。这对于分支机构很多或员工普遍分布的公司特别有用，因为当我们发现数以百万计的人突然在家工作时，几乎每个人都在处理这些事情。

Nikesh Arora, chairman and CEO at Palo Alto Networks,  says that this acquisition should contribute to Palo Alto’s “secure access service edge,” or SASE solutions, as it is known in industry parlance.

Palo Alto Networks董事长兼首席执行官Nikesh Arora表示，此次收购将为Palo Alto的“安全访问服务优势”或SASE解决方案做出贡献，这在业内颇为人知。

“As the enterprise becomes more distributed, customers want agile solutions that just work, and that applies to both security and networking. Upon the close of the transaction, the combined platform will provide customers with a complete SASE offering that is best-in-class, easy to deploy, cloud-managed, and delivered as a service,” Arora said in a statement.

随着企业的分布越来越分散，客户需要一种既可行又适用于安全和网络的敏捷解决方案。交易完成后，合并后的平台将为客户提供完整的SASE产品，该产品是同类最佳，易于部署，由云管理并作为服务交付的。” Arora在一份声明中说。

CloudGenix was founded 2013 by Kumar Ramachandran, Mani Ramasamy and Venkataraman Anand, all of whom will be joining the company as part of the deal. It has 250 customers across a variety of verticals. The company has raised almost $100 million, according to PitchBook data.

CloudGenix由Kumar Ramachandran，Mani Ramasamy和Venkataraman Anand于2013年创立，作为交易的一部分，所有这些人都将加入该公司。它在各种垂直领域拥有250个客户。根据PitchBook的数据，该公司已经筹集了近1亿美元。

Palo Alto Networks has been on an acquisitive streak. Going back to February 2019, this represents the sixth company it has acquired, to the tune of more than $1.6 billion overall.

Palo Alto Networks一直处于收购状态。追溯到2019年2月，这代表了它已收购的第六家公司，总价值超过16亿美元。

The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter, subject to customary regulatory approvals.

此次收购预计将在第四季度完成，但要获得常规监管部门的批准。
