It supports scalability for SMB and NFS-based applications and is deployed across industries including higher education, legal, medical and manufacturing.

Its team includes veterans from Data Domain, Veritas, NetApp, Omneon, GreenPlum, Ocarina, and Bell Labs. Exablox was founded in 2010 and says its approach has shown early traction with customer and partner validation.
