Infinidat is an Israeli-American enterprise data storage company. The company has offices in 17 countries and two headquarters: one in Waltham, MA and one in Herzliya, Israel.[1]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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. As of 2020, it has received a total of $370 million in funding.[11]

Products and services

[edit]

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.[12] 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.[13] As of 2025, the InfiniBox G4 arrays use eight enclosures of 78 24TB drives.[14]

Infinidat’s portfolio also includes InfiniBox SSA, an all-flash storage solution,[15] and InfiniGuard, a purpose-built backup appliance.[16] The company also offers Infinisafe, data protection software that includes automated cyber resiliency and recovery systems.[17]

InfiniBox’s storage software is the InfuzeOS operating system.[13] Infinidat systems use a deep learning neural cache for read efficiency.[18]

In 2024, Infinidat developed a new retrieval-augmented generation system aimed at optimizing data on enterprise storage systems for output to AI models.[19]
