Datera is a global enterprise software company headquartered in Santa Clara, California that develops elastic block scale-out, software-defined storage.
The Datera Data Services Platform is the company's commercial product aimed at DevOps, hyperscale storage environments, and cloud service providers. The Datera platform deploys on industry-standard servers from Cisco, Dell EMC, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Intel, Lenovo, and QUANTA Supermicro to store blocks and objects in on-premises data centers, and private cloud and hybrid cloud environments.[1]
History
Datera was co-founded in 2013 by contributors to open-source LIO_(SCSI_target) storage, Nicholas Bellinger, Claudio Fleiner and Marc Fleischmann. In 2016, Datera emerged from stealth and raised $40 million in funding from Khosla Ventures, Samsung Ventures, Andy Bechtolsheim, and Pradeep Sindhu.[2]
Datera partnered with open source private cloud platform, vScaler in 2017 to deliver scalable private clouds for a range of workloads from high-performance databases to archival storage.[3]
Guy Churchward, the former CEO at DataTorrent and Divisional President of Core Technologies at Dell EMC, joined the Datera board of directors in 2018 and was appointed CEO in December of that year.[4] Hal Woods, former VP and CTO of advanced development at Western Digital's data center systems business unit, was appointed CTO in January 2018. Former go-to-market leader at NetApp, Chris Cummings was appointed CMO in June of the same year.[5]
In January 2019, Datera announced a go-to-market partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise as part of the HPE Complete program to allow businesses to procure integrated solutions on a single HPE purchase order. Datera reported 500 percent business growth in the first half of 2019 that was attributed to the HPE partnership.[6]
In October 2019, Datera announced the HPE Datera Cloud Kit in partnership with HPE, a pre-packaged configuration for HPE customers that included a Datera software license, HPE Smart Fabric Orchestrator license, HPE M-Series switches, HPE DL360 servers, cabling, and support for containers, virtual machines, and bare metal applications.
The company was named by CRN as an Emerging Storage Vendor in 2019.[7]
In 2020, Datera achieved a “Veeam-Ready” designation in the repository category. The program (from backup solutions and cloud data management provider, Veeam) signifies the company partners that have met standards via a “qualification and testing program” and are certified to work in conjunction with one another.[8]
On April 15, 2020, Datera co-founder Marc Fleishmann announced his departure from Datera to pursue new opportunities via a Linkedin posting.[9]
Technology
Datera's principal product is a block, scale-out software-defined storage platform for transaction-intensive workloads that utilizes the iSCSI protocol. It provides elastic, primary storage for on-premises data centers, and private and hybrid cloud environments. Enterprises can combine different hardware and media from multiple vendors to create distributed, scale-out storage clusters for workloads running on bare metal, virtual machines, or containers.[10]
The software also uses automation and data orchestration to place data by location, node, and media type while continuously tuning performance for each application. The company states that this eliminates the need for manual administration.[11] Datera uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to assess an organization's data environment and automatically takes actions to optimize it through user-defined policies.[12]
Datera natively integrates with OpenStack, VMware vSphere, CloudStack and container orchestration platforms such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Mesos.[13]
