As more companies move to all-flash arrays, they will be looking for solutions that don’t require extensive storage infrastructure changes and solutions that have built in strong services such as encryption. K2 is engineered with 256-bit AES key technology and ensures no data is available on SSDs after deletion. This built in encryption demonstrates Kaminario’s dedication to design best-of-breed flash solutions serving all critical needs for midrange customers.
As we mentioned earlier, Kaminario has tripled customer bookings since the release of its fifth-generation K2 arrays. Now they have quadrupled customer bookings. Along with existing investors such as Sequoia Capital, Pitango, Globespan, Tenaya and Mitsui, Kaminario has raised $53 million in funding with new investors Silicon Valley Bank and Lazarus Hedge Fund. Kaminario has maintained the highest customer satisfaction rate in the industry and continues to do so by adding features such as the above encryption abilities. Kaminario continues to rapidly grow its customer base and hit other achievements such as:
