A Westboro-based IT infrastructure company has raised $58 million, which it plans to use to hire 150 more people in Massachusetts over the next year.
SimpliVity's goal is to simplify IT infrastructure by taking 12 different products — such as storage and networking — and assimilating them into a single building block that it calls the Omni Cube, said CEO Doron Kempel, who founded the company in 2009.
"We've developed a new data architecture, data that filters any redundancy so that only unique data is stored, which increases the performance of the system and reduces the amount of space and power that is required," Kempel said.
This "architecture" also allows for a single person to manage data globally from a single location, he said.
Matt Murphy, general partner at Kleiner Perkins, the Menlo Park, Calif., firm that led both a $25 million funding round for SimpliVity last year and the latest round, said the firm acted because of an "acceleration of enterprises building out their own cloud-like infrastructure."
"There are between eight and 11 new products you need to manage and work well together," Murphy said. "The beauty of SimpliVity is they did it all in one appliance. They're really taking on IBM, EMC, VMware, Dell. All of them are talking about making their own solution, but they're late to the market."
SimpliVity released its product earlier this year, Kempel said, and since then, demand has soared.
"We need to grow as quickly as possible," he said. The company, which has 100 employees in Westboro, expects to hire another 150 in Massachusetts over the next year, including 50 more engineers within the next four months.
