This new funding will allow us to continue our global expansion and accelerate our innovation agenda to better serve our customers,” he added.

With its built-for-flash, software-defined architecture, Kaminario claims to be strongly positioned to power on-demand applications, turn data into usable information and support SaaS businesses as they grow. With this new funding, the company aims to accelerate expansion across Eastern and Western Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East leveraging its Kaminario ACCELERATE Channel Partner program.

Kaminario has also revealed plans to expand technology eco-system partnerships to deliver more complete solutions to its customers with emphasis on bringing storage closer to the application layer with tighter integrations with database platforms, virtualization solutions, hypervisors and development paradigms.

To boost technology innovation, the company aims to leverage its software-defined architecture to help customers adopt new hardware technologies quickly, with no forklift upgrades. With emerging hardware technologies such as NVMe and NVMe Fabric (NVMeF) on the horizon, the company believes that this latest round will allow it to accelerate its innovation agenda and give existing customers a faster path to leverage new technology advancements, without impacting performance or disrupting their existing infrastructure.
