We’re proud to announce our support of DataCore, an advanced data storage technology company, by leading their $60 million capital raise.
Founded in 1998, DataCore is a provider of software-defined storage (“SDS”) solutions for on-premise, edge, and cloud-based deployments. DataCore’s SDS solutions intentionally separate the functions responsible for provisioning capacity, protecting data, and controlling data placement from the physical hardware on which data is stored which allows storage hardware to be easily replaced, upgraded, and expanded.
John O’Donoghue, who led the investment for Vistara Growth, said, “As a pioneer in data storage and infrastructure solutions, DataCore is well positioned to capitalize on the increasing data volumes generated by corporate digital transformations. We have seen first-hand how DataCore’s customers depend upon their flexible, hardware-agnostic solutions for critical, high-availability storage workflows, and we are excited to partner on their next phase of growth. DataCore’s track record of delivering cutting-edge infrastructure solutions is supported by 25 years of R&D and innovation further enhanced by strategic acquisitions.”
Proceeds from the $60 million growth financing will accelerate the company’s global expansion plans and help further develop DataCore’s edge and AI-powered solutions portfolio.
