Centeris Corp. has landed $11.5 million in venture capital financing to continue developing software that helps manage Linux servers in a Microsoft Windows environment.

It is the second round of financing for the Bellevue startup, which was initially bankrolled by Ignition Partners. Centeris launched its first product, Likewise 1.0, in mid-January. More than 1,000 companies have tested the product and some paying customers have already lined up, the company said in a press release. Here's my blog post about the company when they emerged from stealth mode last October.

Interestingly, the deal was led by Trinity Ventures and Intel Capital. Both have become quite active in the Seattle investment scene recently. Trinity's recent bets include Wetpaint, Jobster and Payscale, while Intel has pumped money into Dexterra, Lockdown Networks and Melodeo.
