Infinidat, the high-end storage array maker, has completed a D-round of funding with existing investors, but it is not saying how much it raised. Prior to this round, the company has raised $325m in three slugs since 2010.

TPG and Goldman Sachs are leading a new funding round that will enable Infinidat (www.infinidat.com) to accelerate customer-centric growth plans led by new management structure.

Enterprise data storage Infinidat Ltd. today announced it has raised an undisclosed sum of new funding. The Series D round came from existing investors TPG Growth, Goldman Sachs, Claridge Israel, ION Crossover Partners and Moshe Yanai, founder of Infinidat.

Infinidat has added NVMe-oF support to its storage array operating system, in a move intended to preserve its speed advantage over all-flash rivals.
