Overview

Diamanti builds a purpose-built, fully integrated bare-metal hyperconverged platform for Kubernetes and containers, combining high-performance compute, plug-and-play networking, persistent NVMe-based storage, Docker, Linux and Kubernetes. The platform targets enterprises running containerized applications both on-premises and in public cloud environments, emphasizing performance, simplicity, security and enterprise features. Diamanti reports rapid growth in bookings and revenue over the past year and has won major enterprise customers across energy, financial services and internet service providers. The company plans to use new funding to ramp global go-to-market initiatives and increase engineering investment to drive its hybrid cloud roadmap and develop new software, SaaS, and hardware solutions. Diamanti has received industry recognition (Gartner Cool Vendor, CRN and other awards) and is backed by venture investors including ClearSky, CRV, Engineering Capital, Goldman Sachs, GSR Ventures, Northgate Capital, Threshold Ventures and Translink Capital. The company is based in San Jose, California. Diamanti offers the D10, a hyper‑converged appliance that ships pre‑integrated with container software, compute, networking and storage to deploy and operate Docker containers at production scale. The D10, now generally available, is designed to let enterprise IT organizations in media, financial services and web infrastructure deploy containers in seconds, plug into existing environments, and accelerate time‑to‑market while guaranteeing real‑time service levels. The company is led by CEO and co‑founder Jeff Chou. Diamanti closed an $18M Series B and intends to use the funds to increase product development, support, sales and marketing. The appliance is positioned for enterprises that need production‑grade container deployments and rapid time‑to‑value. The company is based in San Jose, CA. Diamanti emerged from stealth with an appliance that merges networking and storage hardware into a single box to address throughput problems for containerized workloads. The appliance is designed to deploy quickly—claims in just minutes—and to help get containers into production faster by providing extra horsepower missing from legacy infrastructure. The company intends to remain agnostic across Docker, Google Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift and plans to contribute to open source projects like Kubernetes. While in stealth, Diamanti ran beta tests with customers including NBC Universal and unnamed testers in the service provider, financial services, and web infrastructure sectors. The company launched 14 months prior to the article, is headquartered in San Jose, CA, and has about 30 employees. Diamanti announced $12.5 million in Series A funding and says it is still working on packaging and pricing the product.
