Every day, developers rely on millions of third party and open source building blocks - known as components - to build the software that runs our world. Sonatype ensures that only the best components are used throughout the software development lifecycle so that organizations don't have to make the tradeoff between going fast and being secure. Policy automation, ongoing monitoring and proactive alerts makes it easy to have full visibility and control of components throughout the software supply chain to improve the efficiency of component-based development.\r\n\r\nSonatype operates the Central Repository, the industry's primary source for open-source components, housing more than 1.4 million components and managing more than 31 billion requests per year for the global software development community. More than 100,000 instances of Sonatype's Nexus solutions are used to support agile, Continuous Delivery, and DevOps practices globally.\r\n\r\nSonatype is privately held with investments from New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Accel Partners, Bay Partners, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Morgenthaler Ventures and Goldman Sachs. \r\n\r\nVisit us at www.sonatype.com, follow us @Sonatype on Twitter, and join our community at www.sonatype.org/nexus/.
