SUNNYVALE, Calif. – Januray 30, 2018 — /BackupReview.info/ — Datrium, the leading provider of Open Converged Infrastructure for hybrid clouds, announced today that business growth is accelerating as a record number of customers adopt its new breed of convergence. Product innovation and strategic partnerships, together with a growing number of enterprises that have experienced firsthand the limitations of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), were largely responsible for the accelerating customer interest and adoption experienced throughout 2017.
Significant Customer Adoption Continues
With more than 300 DVX deployments in seven quarters, Datrium customers now include large enterprises like global technology powerhouse Siemens, a global consumer products company, and one of the world’s leading entertainment service companies, as well as popular consumer brands like Oberto and Osprey Packs. Adoption has been strong across all industry sectors including financial services, healthcare, public sector, and service providers. Revenue also grew many times that of 2016, and included petabyte-size deployments, multiple DR installations and repeat purchases from existing Datrium customers.
“We considered all-flash arrays and hyperconverged systems, but nothing compared to Datrium, which gave us the best of both without the drawbacks,” said Bryan Bond, Director of Infrastructure at Siemens Corporation. “We spend zero time managing storage, our database performance is off the charts, and backup is built right in so we get data protection without the headache of dedicated backup devices.”
Record Product Innovation
Fueled by one of the four largest financing events in 2016, Datrium maintained a blistering pace of product releases in 2017. The company became the first to introduce several innovative technologies for server-powered converged infrastructure, including:
Strategic Partnerships
Datrium has also seen tremendous growth in both go-to-market and ecosystem partnerships. The Datrium channel has grown to 200 authorized partners, including a silver level relationship with CDW. New ecosystem partnerships have spiked to 30 from six just two quarters ago, and now include:
The combination of technology advancements and strategic partnerships have resulted in 2 out of 3 customers selecting Datrium DVX and Open Convergence over Nutanix HCI. A desire to avoid HCI cluster sprawl, while achieving high performance for large data sets, affordable double-failure protection, and the ability to integrate with existing server infrastructures were some of the reasons customers cited for choosing Datrium over Nutanix.
Market Expansion
Stimulated by strong customer demand and competitive success, Datrium is moreover announcing the doubling of its sales and solution architect staff across the U.S., and is opening Datrium subsidiaries to serve both Canada and Japan. The new Datrium subsidiaries are partnering with value-added solution providers to deliver Datrium DVX products to their respective markets. In addition to business development, sales and marketing, both subsidiaries provide local technical support and services.
New Executive Talent
Important additions to Datrium’s executive staff were made throughout the year. Mike Park was appointed as VP of Operations, and Andre Leibovici, who left Nutanix in May, was appointed as VP of Solutions and Alliances. In addition, Datrium added a new member to its board of directors, Dave Schneider who is currently the Chief Revenue Officer at ServiceNow.
“It has been a phenomenal year for Datrium and our customers,” said Brian Biles, Datrium CEO and co-founder. “Our tremendous customer adoption and revenue growth has also attracted leading IT companies like Oracle, Red Hat, and Citrix to partner with Datrium. We look forward to helping more companies benefit from open converged infrastructure in 2018.”
