Infinidat

Infinidat is a private enterprise data storage company founded by Moshe Yanai, who previously served as the chief architect of the EMC Symmetrix storage systems. The company is headquartered in Petah Tikva, Israel, with a US presence in Needham, Massachusetts. It targets large-scale organizations requiring petabyte-class storage infrastructure.

Infinidat's primary focus is petabyte-scale enterprise storage systems designed for organizations that demand high performance, high availability, and a favorable cost-per-terabyte ratio. Core buyers include large enterprise accounts, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and managed service providers. The underlying architecture uses DRAM and NVMe as a caching tier over high-capacity magnetic drives, combined with internal machine learning algorithms for data placement and tiering. The company's central competitive claim is a significantly higher performance-per-dollar ratio compared to all-flash competitors.

The flagship product is InfiniBox, a petabyte-scale primary storage array. InfiniBox SSA (Solid State Array) is the all-flash variant targeting workloads that require especially low latency. InfiniGuard is the company's purpose-built appliance for backup, cyber recovery, and data protection. Infinidat has published Storage Performance Council (SPC-1) benchmark results publicly, citing performance-per-cost figures as a differentiator.

The primary named competitors in enterprise primary storage are Dell EMC (PowerMax), NetApp, IBM (FlashSystem), and Pure Storage. Infinidat positions itself against these vendors on total cost of ownership, particularly for organizations storing very large data volumes. The company focuses on a segment of the market where the economics of flash-only architectures remain expensive at scale, though declining flash prices have narrowed that gap over time.

Infinidat's R&D center is located in Petah Tikva. Founder Moshe Yanai is Israeli, and the company's core engineering functions are based in Israel.
