Contents

Infinidat's products are used by large corporations and clients, including cloud service providers, telecoms, financial services firms, healthcare providers, and others that require large amounts of data storage. [2]

History

Infinidat was founded by Moshe Yanai [3] [4] in 2011. [5] By 2015 it was valued at $1.2 billion, [3] and in 2017 it was valued at $1.6 billion. [6]

Yanai left the company in 2020, and Phil Bullinger, a former Western Digital executive, was named CEO in 2021. [7]

On January 16, 2025, Lenovo announced plans to acquire Infinidat for an undisclosed amount. [8] [9]

Funding

In 2015 the company received $150 million in funding during its Series B round led by TPG Growth. [10]

In 2017, the company received $95 million in funding, [6] in a Series C round led by Goldman Sachs. At this stage it had received $325 million in total funding. [1]

Products and services

In 2013 the company filed for thirty-nine patents, [4] and later that year released its flagship product, the InfiniBox, which uses a triple-controller, memory-cached architecture. [11] Each system initially managed about five petabytes of data. [6] The InfiniBox hybrid array is also used as a backup target. InfiniBox’s hybrid array was updated in 2025, allowing it to hold 33PB in a single 42U rack. [12]

InfiniBox’s storage software is the InfuzeOS operating system. [12] Infinidat systems use a deep learning neural cache for read efficiency. [13]

The company uses conventional and flash storage, and has a better than one million IOPS performance and 99.99999 percent reliability. [14]
