This week, Apple bought the company FoundationDB , which is creating noSQL database to work with web applications. Later, Bloomberg learned that the corporation bought a startup to analyze Acunu data back in 2013 and did not inform anyone about it.

Apple deals with a huge amount of data. To process and use them, we need new technologies that the corporation is able to obtain through the purchase of startups. In 2014 alone, Apple bought 17 companies, including Beats Electronics LLC for $ 3 billion.

40 people work in FoundationDB, the company's know-how allows it to announce the ability to store different types of data in one database. For two rounds of financing, the company received $ 23 million.

In 2013, Apple bought a startup Acunu and immediately closed it. The company's developments provide database analysis, they are able to work with other tools and improve them - for example, the Cassandra database, which Apple uses. The deal did not appear in the media, but former employees of a startup changed their employer on LinkedIn to Apple.
