History
Infinidat was founded by Moshe Yanai[3][4] in 2011.[5] By 2015 it was valued at $1.2 billion,[3] and in 2017 it was valued at $1.6 billion.[6]
Yanai left the company in 2020, and Phil Bullinger, a former Western Digital executive, was named CEO in 2021.[7]
On January 16, 2025, Lenovo announced plans to acquire Infinidat for an undisclosed amount.[8][9]

In 2015 the company received $150 million in funding during its Series B round led by TPG Growth.[10]
In 2017, the company received $95 million in funding,[6] in a Series C round led by Goldman Sachs. At this stage it had received $325 million in total funding.[1]
Products and services
In 2013 the company filed for thirty-nine patents,[4] and later that year released its flagship product, the InfiniBox, which uses a triple-controller, memory-cached architecture.[11] Each system initially managed about five petabytes of data.[6]The InfiniBox hybrid array is also used as a backup target. InfiniBox’s hybrid array was updated in 2025, allowing it to hold 33PB in a single 42U rack.[12]
InfiniBox’s storage software is the InfuzeOS operating system.[12]Infinidat systems use a deep learning neural cache for read efficiency.[13]
The company uses conventional and flash storage, and has a better than one million IOPS performance and 99.99999 percent reliability.[14]
