Unikernel Systems, a start-up co-founded by staff and postdoctoral researchers at the Cambridge University Computer Laboratory, has been acquired by a major Californian company, Docker Inc.

Dr Anil Madhapaveddy, who joined Pembroke College as a Fellow in 2015, is a lecturer in Computer Science. He was one of the co-founders of Unikernel Systems in 2015. Unikernel Systems provides a new approach to building, deploying and managing cloud services, with the aim of making unikernel technology more applicable and accessible.

With Docker’s support, the start-up hopes to be able to realize the enormous potential of unikernels and will continue to contribute to open source projects such as MirageOS.
