Ottawa’s Gridiron Software has received an estimated $5 million in new funding to help the company begin marketing a product targeted at cloud computing.

Udo Eberlein, chief executive of the firm, said the money will also allow the company to complete the development of software that will let businesses track, audit, manage and instantly update files stored on cloud servers.
