Pavilion Data raises $45Mn

Pavilion Data Systems, a flash startup, raised $45 million in its latest funding round led by Kleiner Perkins and Artiman Ventures, bringing the total capital raised to $107 million.

The company is focused on providing high-performance storage for modern, data-intensive workloads such as for artificial intelligence and machine learning. Pavilion's product architecture is based on NVMe-oF and built-in high-performance network switching instead of relying on traditional storage controllers.

Pavilion, based in San Jose, California, is a computational storage startup, where data is processed at the storage device level. Its flagship product is the Pavilion HyperParallel Flash Array, powered by Pavilion HyperOS.

Dario Zamarian, CEO of Pavilion Data, said, “Pavilion is proving its market acceptance across a broad range of industry verticals as an analytics acceleration platform for legacy and next-generation applications. 2021 saw the company grow its employee base by 50% across all functions. This, combined with additional funding from our investors, our expanded leadership team, and the strong position of our flagship HyperParallel Data Platform will enable us to take data analytics acceleration to the next level.”

Pavilion also opened new sales offices in Atlanta, Boston, and London, and it directly addressed the public sector by opening a sales division focused on federal government customers to support its strong presence in the federal space. The company continued its expansion into the life sciences, financial, and media and entertainment industry verticals.
