Volterra was a Santa Clara-based distributed cloud company founded in 2017 by Ankur Singla, Harshad Nakil, and Ashish Ranjan, offering the VoltMesh (multi-cloud networking and security) and VoltStack (edge application deployment) SaaS platforms on a global application delivery network. Backed by roughly $50M from Khosla Ventures, Mayfield, M12, Samsung NEXT, and Itochu Technology Ventures, Volterra was acquired by F5 in January 2021 for approximately $500M and became the foundation of F5 Distributed Cloud Services. Its API surface (ves.io.schema, console.ves.volterra.io) is catalogued in the F5 Distributed Cloud Services profile, while the Volterra-branded Terraform provider and vesctl CLI remain published and maintained by F5.
