Zynstra, which offers ‘hybrid cloud’ solutions for small and medium sized enterprises, has raised a further $8.4 million of funding in a Series B round. This brings the total amount raised to just over $14.4 million.

The UK startup plans to use the additional capital to further develop its range of “hybrid cloud” products, which are designed for SMEs as opposed to much larger enterprises, and expand its channel reach in the UK, and then launch in the U.S. towards the end of this year.

CozyCloud, a Paris-based startup building an open-source platform for personal cloud storage, raised $1.1 million (800,000 euros) earlier this month.

“We are building an open platform that allows people to have their web apps and their personal data on hardware they control,” said CozyCloud co-founder Frank Rousseau.

In short, CozyCloud lets you set up a server (based on Android) that provides contacts, calendar, file storage, and email — all under your own control. It supports synchronization with mobile devices and laptops.

All of the apps share the same file store.
