Apple has acquired cloud networking startup Union Bay Networks, according to The Seattle Times. The company focused on "enabling the next generation of networking for cloud computing and software defined datacenters," and seven out of nine of its former employees are said to have been hired by the Cupertino firm.
Of course, Apple hasn't officially commented on the acquisition, but it seemingly confirmed the purchase earlier today by providing The Seattle Times its boiler plate public relations response of "Apple sometimes buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans."
