Zenprise, a company that offers a mobile management platform for enterprises, announced a $30 million funding round led by the Silicon Valley-based Greylock Partners. Existing investors Rembrandt Venture Partners, Ignition Partners and Shasta Ventures are participating in the financing.

“This year has been one of tremendous growth for Zenprise, driven by companies seeking to balance Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) policies with mobile device, application and data security,” said Jayaram Bhat, CEO of Zenprise.”This significant investment led by Greylock is a major validation of Zenprise’s strategy and market position.”

Asheem Chandna, a former operating executive and as a venture capitalist at Greylock, is joining Zenprise’s board of directors.  Prior to working for the VC firm, Chandna was the vice president of business development and product management at Check Point Software.

Research firm Gartner named Zenprise as a startup poised for growth, and as such the company is making serious pushes to hold on to this status. Before the funding round it hired Chris Doell as its new vice president of customer success, a position created specifically for him. Doell, who handles client services and customer support for the company brings 20 years of experience to Zenprise.  He filled various executive positions at Intuit, Macromedia and SportsTALK.com.

Zenprise is expanding its management team, and also its product portfolio.  In June the company announced ZenCloud, the cloud version of its offering.  It can be deployed in the private, public and hybrid cloud, and offers the same functionality and security Mobile Manager (the on-premise edition) does. That includes device, app and network protection; and a rather bold promise of 100 percent SLA which guarantees customers a compensation for any service disruption. Another big plus of the cloud service is that it can scale to support thousands of devices.

Looks like a good week for cloud companies named after balanced energy.  Karmasphere recently took in $6 million to grow its Hadoop offerings as well.
