“Cloudian redefines enterprise storage with a global data fabric that integrates both private and public clouds — spanning across sites and around the globe — at an unprecedented scale that creates new opportunities for businesses to derive value from data,” Cloudian CEO Michael Tso said. “Cloudian’s unique architecture offers the limitless scalability, simplicity and cloud integration needed to enable the next generation of computing driven by advances such as IoT and machine learning technologies.”
The company zeroes-in on industries dubbed “data-intensive,” including healthcare, media and manufacturing. These businesses not only consume a high volume of data, but that data is also streaming in and out of multiple areas within the enterprise. Cloudian provides a unified management strategy for these companies.
Investors from Digital Alpha, Eight Roads Ventures, Goldman Sachs, INCJ, JPIC, NTT DOCOMO Ventures and WS Investments participated in the investment round, which will be used to focus on marketing and sales, as well as to expand its engineering team.
