Infinidat, a company founded in 2011 with deep roots in enterprise storage, has established itself as a critical player in the IT storage infrastructure for some of the world’s largest companies. The company’s founder, who previously created EMC Symmetrix and sold XIV to IBM, has leveraged this extensive experience to build Infinidat into a provider of high-performance, high-availability storage solutions. These solutions are designed to handle mission-critical applications and workloads, including databases, ERP systems, and virtual infrastructures. Recently, Infinidat has also expanded its focus to support critical AI workloads, such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), reflecting the evolving needs of modern enterprises.
Infinidat’s approach to the market is somewhat unique, as it traditionally sold full rack-scale systems but is now offering more flexible consumption options. This flexibility allows customers to integrate Infinidat’s solutions seamlessly into their existing infrastructure without significant changes. The company’s customer base primarily consists of large enterprises, with an average customer managing 17 petabytes of storage. Infinidat’s systems are known for their scalability, capable of handling up to 17 petabytes of effective data, and are designed to provide enterprise-caliber performance, 100% availability resilience, and industry-leading cyber resilience through their InfiniSafe technology.
One of the standout features of Infinidat’s offerings is their “white glove” customer service, which includes comprehensive support from the initial purchase through the entire lifecycle of the product at no additional cost. This service model has flipped the traditional support paradigm on its head, providing customers with technical advisors and eliminating the need for additional support tiers or add-ons. Infinidat’s solutions also contribute to data center consolidation, offering greener, more efficient storage options that reduce floor space, power, cooling, and operational costs. The company’s recent product developments, including the AI-driven Infiniverse platform and the cloud editions of their Fuse OS operating system, further demonstrate their commitment to innovation and addressing the evolving needs of enterprise customers, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity and cyber attack prevention.
