Delphix, the market leader in Data as a Service, today announced a $75 million oversubscribed round of funding led by Fidelity Management and Research Company. Additional investors include Credit Suisse NEXT Investors, LLC, a fund managed within Credit Suisse Asset Management, The Kraft Group, and existing investors, including Greylock Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Icon Ventures.
The additional capital will enable Delphix to quickly scale sales, marketing, and operations across global geographies and maintain its leadership in Data as a Service (DaaS), a disruptive and transformative market that accelerates application releases and cloud migrations, while reducing IT costs.
'Applications have become a highly contested battleground for businesses across all industries,' said Jedidiah Yueh, Delphix Founder and CEO. 'Data as a Service helps our customers complete application releases and cloud migrations in half the time, by making data fast, light, and unbreakable -- a huge competitive advantage.'
In addition, the investment will allow the company to aggressively invest in cloud, analytics, and data security technologies to drive more value for customers of its Data as a Service platform.
'At Delphix, our mission is to help companies unlock the value of data trapped in heavyweight legacy infrastructure and databases,' said Yueh. 'With our virtualization, masking, and self-service delivery technologies, we can deliver data 100x faster than traditional methods, while consuming 10x less infrastructure.'
