Google acquires server hardware start-up Agnilux

Google have added yet another acquisition to their trolley of newly bought companies after having purchased server hardware start-up Agnilux.

Agnilux was created by a group of former Apple engineers whilst the company’s director of application software, Scott Redman, used to be a software architect at revolutionary live TV manipulation service Tivo.

The company evidently has said some high profile talent behind it which has surely persuaded Google to buy it.

This acquisition is somewhat different from the rest as Agnilux has not had any real success seen as no projects have actually been announced since its inception, the purchase must be based purely on the relative potential of the company and its staff.

Rumours had surfaced earlier this year that Agnilux were working on some kind of server and that they had formed a partnership with server giants Cisco but this has since been presumed to have fallen by the wayside as nothing has come to fruition.

The company and all of its employees are now part of the ever growing Google empire that could do with some server related know-how within the company.

Agnilux is Google’s 9th acquisition of a smaller company this year as they keep to their promise of buying a new company every month in 2010.
