With over three decades of experience Phil Bullinger, CEO of Infinidat is shaping the totality of the company’s culture, strategy and operational execution

Infinidat is a leader in the high-end storage segment, shaking established market positions with its InfiniBox product line based on DRAM and HDD historically and more recently with its SSA model. The company has consistently achieved an EBITDA profitable business model with a positive cash flow for more than two consecutive years, which it is reinvesting back into the business to fuel the continued growth and scale. The company significantly expanded the company’s product portfolio, available market, and its go-to-market scope and organizational scale while elevating the company’s profile and awareness in the market.

Enterprise-Class Data Storage Products

InfiniBox®: Infinidat customers routinely consolidate entire rows of legacy enterprise storage onto a single InfiniBox system, dramatic reductions in data center footprint, power and cooling and infrastructure complexity. InfiniBox being a unified platform eliminates storage array and filer sprawl, allowing operations and capacity planning teams to leverage economies of scale of provided by their unified platform. Flexible, software-defined quality of service and guaranteed reliability ensure that mission-critical line-of-business applications run nonstop alongside development and test workloads on a secure, scalable, efficient storage infrastructure. Its enterprise storage system delivers groundbreaking performance, multi-petabyte capacity, 100% availability, and cyber resilience for a broad range of mixed application workloads. Highly flexible zero-impact snapshots, dependable active/active, synchronous & asynchronous replication, and flexible, software-defined quality of service come standard, with guaranteed reliability and data security. Enterprise-class storage with unmatched features and ease of use is included with the added benefit of their performance, 100% availability, and cyber recoverability guarantees. With InfiniBox, enterprise IT organizations and managed service providers are able to exceed their service level objectives while radically lowering the cost and complexity of their storage operations.

That means 36% better ROI/TCO and a 42% reduction in power per effective PB making it greener too.

InfiniBox SSA: It is the enterprise storage system is designed for workloads that require consistent, microsecond latency for every I/O and can deliver latency as low as 35µs* (microseconds). Infinidat’s intelligent learning algorithms and Neural Cache allow a very high percentage of I/O to be serviced at DRAM speed. Combining this with an optimized path to solid-state storage ensures outstanding end-to-end performance. Enterprise-class storage with unmatched features and ease of use is included with the added benefit of their performance, 100% availability, and cyber recoverability guarantees. For many enterprise applications, only ultra-high performance and extremely low latency will do. InfiniBox SSA goes all out when it comes to performance and delivers the performance at scale for the most intense workloads resulting in consistent and predictable, microsecond latency. InfiniBox SSA is designed to meet the specialized needs of enterprise applications and easily surpasses the performance threshold of traditional all-flash arrays. Leveraging an SSD back-end combined with Infinidat’s innovative Neural Cache cache management algorithms, InfiniBox SSA serves much of the I/O from DRAM, which is an order of magnitude faster than flash-based SSDs. The performance guarantee assures customers that Infinidat’s primary storage platforms will perform in their environments, as expected for their workloads.
