Actifio provides multi-cloud data management software powered by its patented Virtual Data Pipeline™ technology. The company's platform delivers Data-as-a-Service to manage databases and to support security, DevOps, analytics, compliance and governance. Actifio serves more than 3,000 enterprises worldwide. Led by founder and CEO Ash Ashutosh and based in Waltham, Mass., the company raised $100M in financing in a round that values it at over $1.3 billion. The round was led by Crestline Investors with participation from North Bridge Venture Partners, 83North, Advanced Technology Ventures, Heritage Group, Andreessen Horowitz and other existing investors. Actifio intends to use the funds to continue to grow globally. Actifio builds a data storage platform using copy-data virtualization that lets businesses create a single master copy of production data and make changes to that copy. The company says its technology can cut storage costs by as much as 90% and reduce recovery times. Actifio reported 182% year-over-year bookings growth in 2013, serves over 300 enterprise users, and has customers in 31 countries with 44% of bookings from outside the U.S. It manages over 1 exabyte of data, including 14 petabytes of active app data and 55 petabytes of physical storage capacity. Actifio said it will use new funding to expand globally, develop new product features, extend into the mid-market, and enable cloud service provider partners to build businesses on its platform. The company has been discussing an IPO and said a public offering is likely in the following year. Actifio offers a copy data storage platform that virtualizes storage and manages a single "perfect copy" of production data, enabling application-centric, SLA-driven recovery from any point in time.

The company closed a $50 million investment round to accelerate bookings growth and to invest in its global go-to-market model to target the estimated $44 billion copy data storage market. Actifio reported 700% year-over-year growth in FY2012, achieved ten consecutive quarters of double-digit sequential growth, and has over 100 referenceable users across 16 countries.
