BYO flash to the Datrium party | #VMworld
When Brian Biles, CEO and cofounder of Datrium, Inc., partnered with other industry vets, the company found a gap in the market in the scalable storage within the virtual machine (VM) space. Three years later, Datrium is making its inaugural tradeshow appearance.
Biles sat down with Dave Vallente and David Floyer on theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, at VMworld 2015 in San Francisco to address the missing piece of the puzzle in the VM storage world.
A new path
Addressing the issues with the two types of storage, arrays and hyper-converge, Biles explained that each method is expensive and inflexible. Datrium is creating a third path by providing two cooperative elements: a box that manages the local storage compute and BYO flash for cashing. This process offers easier scaling and better performance at a lower cost.
Headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, the company is comprised of some uniquely qualified industry insiders. To date, Datrium has raised about $55 million, and it is attending VMworld 2015 to offer enterprise clients a new alternative.
