Dell has bought cloud computing solutions and software-as-a-service company Boomi, which counts Salesforce.com among its customers.

According to Dell, the acquisition will help it meet its goals for cloud computing.

Boomi has an application integration platform called AtomSphere which it says makes integrating data from on premise to the cloud much easier.

It requires no coding or software, according to Boomi.

According to Dell Consumer Small and Medium Business President Steve Felice, the purchase will be used by Dell to help its customers that are contemplating moving to cloud computing.

\"Twenty-six years ago we helped accelerate the move to client-server computing; today we’ll help drive a similar transformation with customers turning to the cloud to drive costs down and innovation up,” Felice said.

Founded in 2000 in Pennsylvania, US, Boomi is venture backed by FirstMark Capital.
