Infrastructure data management startup OpsMill SAS announced today that it has raised $14 million in new funding to expand its infrastructure data management platform aimed at making enterprise information technology environments ready for artificial intelligence-driven automation.

Founded in 2023, OpsMill develops software that gives enterprise infrastructure and network teams a unified, structured view of their IT environments so engineers and AI agents can automate operations safely at large scale. Its flagship product, Infrahub, uses a graph database to map connections between hundreds of thousands of infrastructure elements across physical, virtual and cloud-based environments, serving as what the company calls a trusted source of truth for any IT environment.

Although industries have had automated apps and workflows for decades, the underlying infrastructure layer has lagged because the data describing it is typically scattered across spreadsheets, configuration management databases and bolted-on scripts that were never designed to guide AI. The company argues that when agents act on that fragmented data, the result can be cascading failures that cost enterprises money and time.

Infrahub differs from existing tools on the market that treat infrastructure data as a fixed table of assets, the company says. Instead, it treats the data as a dynamic web of relationships to give engineers and agents context-rich access to how every part of the infrastructure should be provisioned.

The platform validates and approves every proposed change through a governed DevOps-style management process built specifically for infrastructure data before deployment. OpsMill says the approach is particularly relevant in financial services, where misconfigured firewall rules can trigger regulatory penalties and in manufacturing, where unreliable automation can shut down production lines.

Infrahub is available in two versions, a free open-source community edition and a paid enterprise edition, following a model similar to that used by GitLab Inc.

OpsMill says its open-source community includes hyperscalers such as TikTok Ltd., and the enterprise edition is used by retail, insurance, manufacturing and fintech customers in Europe and North America. European cloud services provider Eurofiber Group cut service deployment times from five days to 15 minutes after deploying Infrahub, according to OpsMill.

Co-founder and Chief Executive Damien Garros founded the company with co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Karen Gallantry after spending two decades working on infrastructure at companies including Juniper Networks Inc., Roblox Corp. and Network to Code.

“Automation is ultimately a data problem and if you only have a partial view of your network, you’re flying blind,” explains Garros. “Writing the code for automating infrastructure was never the problem, the challenge has always been maintaining it and being able to trust it in production.”

The Series A round was led by Iris Capital Management SAS, with Benhamou Global Ventures and existing investors Serena Capital and Partech Partners also participating. Julien-David Nitlech, managing partner at IRIS, said that “without clean, structured, trustworthy infrastructure data, AI-driven operations simply cannot function at scale.”
