Storage-as-a-Service Specialist Zadara Acquires Compute Developer NeoKarm

▤ Summary

“Most of our customers are MSPs who use our storage internally to offer to clients who pay for usage,” Nahum told CRN. “NeoKarm offers a 100 percent software product based on the Stratoscale technology,” he said. We provide the software, the hardware from Supermicro, and managed services as a package.” Working together, Zadara and NeoKarm already have done over 20 deployments and have done very well, Nahum said. However, he said, Zadara felt it was important to acquire NeoKarm rather than continuing to partner with the company. Stratoscale had raised about $70 million from a couple of venture capital funds as well as from IT giants Cisco Systems, Intel, Qualcomm and SanDisk.
