Cloudian Doubles Revenue, Grows Customer Base 50%

Cloudian, Inc. announced that its revenue for the first three quarters of fiscal 2019 (February 1 – October 31, 2018) doubled over the same period last year.

Key drivers of this growth included a 50% increase in new customers and in repeat purchases by existing customers, with wins including sales to one of the world’s largest media companies, a top U.S. university, a major consumer electronics retailer and government health agencies in both the U.S. and Europe.
 
Company’s expanding market footprint reflects its position as a specialist in providing S3-compatible, on-premises object storage that works seamlessly in managing and protecting data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
 
Other highlights over the last three quarters include:

• Increased Channel Traction

• 30 new reseller partners
• More than 300% growth in reseller revenue contribution

• Broader Geographic Reach

• 50% increase in worldwide sales and service team
• New European HQs in Amsterdam, Te Netherlands, and engineering center in Milan, Italy
• Extended customer base to encompass nearly 25 countries

• Expanded Ecosystem Partnerships

• Media and entertainment – Telestream and Quantum
• AI/Machine learning – Machine Box
• Healthcare – Hyland
• Video surveillance – Milestone

• Enhanced File System Expertise: Infinity Storage acquisition

• New Investment: $94 million in series E funding
 
“This is an exciting time for Cloudian as customers increasingly turn to us to ensure they have the storage foundation needed to get the full value of their digital assets,” said Mike Tso, CEO. “We offer a unique combination of limitless scalability, geo-distribution, integrated file support and the industry’s best S3 compatibility, providing the flexibility to manage and protect data on-premises and as part of a hybrid or multi-cloud strategy. As a result, we’re not only winning bigger deals – with a majority involving multi-petabytes and including both object and file data – but also being entrusted by existing customers to manage rapidly growing data volumes that exceed 100PB.“
 
One of the keys to Cloudian’s continuing momentum has been the strength of its product, HyperStore, an S3-compatible object storage platform with integrated cloud connectivity that allows users to merge on-premises and cloud computing to create a single storage pool. The resulting hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments let customers optimise cost, performance and data location for various data types to achieve ROI while delivering managed security and compliance.
