Infinidat, the enterprise large array supplier, has appointed a new CEO and CFO, replacing its co-CEO structure and completing the leadership transition from founder Moshe Yanai’s era. The new CEO is Phil Bullinger, the ex-SVP and GM of Western Digital’s Data Centre Business Unit. This business unit was largely shelved by WD in September 2019, with the IntelliFlash product sold to DDN and the ActiveScale archival array to Quantum.

Infinidat’s storage solutions are designed to manage demanding workloads and the provider has shipped over 6 Exabytes worldwide with 1 Exabyte shipped in the last six months. Additionally, Infinidat was named a leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Primary Storage Arrays.

Infinidat Ltd signed an agreement to make immixGroup, Inc., an Arrow Electronics company, its public sector distributor, creating opportunities for VARs to grow their business by selling its storage solutions into the government market.
