When SGI announced earlier this year that they expect their public cloud business to start declining, they countered with a promise to double-down on HPC and Big Data. Towards that end, today the company announced it has acquired the assets of FileTek, Inc., a global provider of Big Data storage virtualization, large-scale data management, and Active Archive.
We’re thrilled to welcome FileTek and its customers to SGI,” said Jorge Titinger, president and CEO of SGI. “With the addition of FileTek solutions, SGI enables existing and new customers to align both unstructured and structured data with the most cost effective storage throughout its lifecycle, with seamless user access and reliable petascale protection. This acquisition also reflects our strategy to build on SGI’s leadership in High Performance Computing, expertise in Big Data, and experience delivering over 600 petabytes of storage capacity annually, to become a global leader in petascale storage solutions.”
Under the terms of the agreement, SGI has acquired FileTek assets including its StorHouse and Trusted Edge software, worldwide customers, engineering team, and services and support resources.
