Fusion-io Raises $45 Million in Financing
Fusion-io, creator of a new memory tier of flash-based solid-state (ioMemory), today announced that it has raised approximately $45 million in a Series C preferred stock financing, led by new investor, Meritech Capital Partners. Also participating in the round were new investors, Accel Partners, Andreessen Horowitz and Triangle Peak Partners, as well as returning investors, New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and Lightspeed Venture Partners, among others.
Fusion-io will direct the additional investment towards scaling up infrastructure to support rapidly increasing sales and build on the momentum its flash-based memory tier is experiencing across multiple industries. Funding will also support development of next generation technologies and products that will further distance the ioMemory Tier from the competition. “The money put into the company by this impressive list of investors demonstrates the value of our technology in the current marketplace,” said Dennis Wolf, CFO of Fusion-io. “Our competition will no doubt take note and be appropriately concerned about the extent and rapidity of our growth.”
