Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) May 17, 2017 -- Atavium, Inc, announced that it has closed an oversubscribed $8.65M Series A funding round led by Rally Ventures and Grotech Ventures, with participation from Origin Ventures, Correlation Ventures, Brightstone Venture Capital and G-Bar Ventures. Atavium has created a unique data management platform that has allowed initial customers to mine, categorize, and maximize the value of their data.

Data is ubiquitous, growing exponentially, and no longer living in a single data center. Organizations are grappling with understanding where data needs to be, how important it is, or whether it needs to be retained for compliance or business reasons. CIOs are increasingly turning to data management solutions to overcome these new and growing challenges.

Atavium offers a solution that can organize, automate, manage, and store exploding unstructured data sets, regardless if they are in a data center or the cloud. Atavium’s revolutionary data management system gives its customers the ability to automate the lifecycle of their data, even before the data is created.

Atavium will use this investment to build its engineering team and bring the product to market. Positions are posted at http://www.atavium.com

Founding Team

“We are pleased to back this team again,” explained Rally Ventures general partner Jeff Hinck. “NuSpeed, Isilon, and Compellent were great outcomes. This team has consistently proven themselves and now are even more experienced.”

Atavium was founded by technology and solution veterans with a legacy of delivering game-changing products with long-lasting value in the storage and networking markets. These products have been acquired by companies such as Dell, EMC, and Cisco Systems. The team also has a long history of working together at several companies.

  • Ed Fiore, CEO - VP of Storage at Dell, held leadership positions at Compellent (acquired by Dell), Isilon (acquired by EMC), and NuSpeed (acquired by Cisco).
  • Mark Bakke, COO & VP Engineering - Executive Director of storage software for Dell, architect for Cisco’s virtual switches, and Chief Architect of NuSpeed (acquired by Cisco).
  • Mike Klemm, CTO - Senior Distinguished Engineer for Dell Storage and architect for Compellent (acquired by Dell).
  • Marc Olin, Chief Architect - Architect for Dell’s storage management solutions and founding engineer at Compellent (acquired by Dell).

“We are really excited to put our team together again, and we are proud to be backed by a roster of investors who all have experience investing in category-defining storage companies,” said Ed Fiore, CEO and co-founder of Atavium.

“The data ‘problem’ in organizations is getting increasingly more difficult,” said Lawson DeVries, General Partner at Grotech Ventures. “Data is now the product, not just the back-office metrics. Machine learning, social networks, and IoT will continue to accelerate data needs. This is the team that can tackle this pressing problem.”
