Atavium, New Player In Data Management at Age of Cloud
Executives from NuSpeed/Cisco, Isilon/EMC and Compellent/Dell
By Philippe Nicolas | September 19, 2017 at 2:50 pmAtavium Inc. was founded in 2016 and is operating from Minneapolis, MN.
The firm was launched by a group of storage veterans from famous stories with exits such NuSpeed, Isilon and Compellent respectively acquired by Cisco, EMC and Dell:
Ed Fiore, CEO, was VP of storage at Dell and spent time at Compellent, Isilon and NuSpeed.
- Mark Bakke, COO and VP engineering, came from Dell, Cisco and NuSpeed.
- Mike Klemm, CTO, was also at Dell and Compellent.
- Marc Olin, chief architect, also at Dell and Compellent.
We found 12 employees on LinkedIn.
The company raised last May 2017 $8.65 million series A from Rally Ventures and Grotech Ventures with participation from Origin Ventures, Correlation Ventures, Brightstone Venture Capital and G-Bar Ventures LLC.
The idea of the Atavium solution is to provide a platform to control the lifecycle of unstructured data with organization, classification, automation, management and storage functions wherever data reside, in the cloud or on-premise.
The web site exists but except a global idea and the team, nothing is developed on the site. We expect more soon.
