Cloud-based infrastructure monitoring startup LogicMonitor has received $130 million in private equity funding from Providence Strategic Growth.

The amount can be seen as a testament to the potential of the technology – the company previously operated on a tiny budget, having collected just $12.95 million across three previous funding rounds.
