We attended a SFD16 session at Infinidat‘s offices in Waltham, MA a couple of weeks ago. The session was led off by Doc D’Errico (@docderrico) but CTO, Brian Carmody (@initzero) did most of the talking and Erik Kaulberg (@ekaulberg) discussed some of their new products. I have known Doc, Erik and Brian for years and all of them are industry heavyweights, having worked at major and startup storage companies for decades.

Protecting personal data that an organisation holds requires a comprehensive approach rather than just perimeter defence. This should be secure by design, protect against internal threats from employees unintentionally complicit in a data breach, and align with data security priorities now and in the future.

FLASH STORAGE HAS EMERGED AS A KEY TECHNOLOGY TO HELP BUSINESSES enhance performance, optimize efficiency, and support analytics projects. It’s also prohibitively expensive at scale. Fast-growing storage company INFINIDAT is changing that by leveraging machine-learning technology to significantly reduce the cost of petabyte scale flash storage, making it affordable to many.

INFINIDAT, a well-funded storage startup with a positive cashflow and a growing position at the high end of the storage market, is here this week at the VeeamON event – the first time they have attended. They are fresh off the March announcement of a product integration with Veeam, their first work together. After several years of being a single product company, they now have a suite of offerings, which they are presenting to Veeam customers and partners at the event. They are also trying to interest more of Veeam’s top partners in working with them, in order to expand their value channel.

This week, Petri is at VeeamOn in Chicago and while at the show, we are talking with companies throughout the enterprise industry about how their software and services can help you secure, backup, and make sure that your environment is always available. On this episode of the Petri Dish, we are talking to Infinidat about how their unique solution works with the largest of enterprise customers and how it helps you store more but pay less without sacrificing performance.

Public cloud services are undoubtedly the fastest way for any individual or organization to get compute and storage resources in a pinch. No need to handle infrastructure capacity, you get what you need, and get it now. However, consuming services instead of being the infrastructure services provider creates new challenges. As the saying goes, with cloud it’s cheap to fail but expensive to succeed.
