Mergers & Acquisitions on Ulitzer
Dell, which has been promising a little M&A, is buying the gone-bust Israeli-based clustered NAS start-up Exanet according to Israel's Globes news site.
Dell is reportedly only paying $12 million for a company whose four investors kicked in $70 million over the last 10 years.
The acquisition is supposed to give Dell its first R&D center in Israel.
It also has offices in the U.S., the UK, Germany, France and Japan. It remains to seen what Dell does with them and the widgetry.
ExaStore's Clustered NAS is a scalable, high-performance, petabytes-storing solution with a clustered distributed file system. Administrators can expand capacity and performance as needed, when needed, without affecting applications or users.
It supports virtual storage provisioning and consists of two building blocks: an integrated, high-performance EX1500 server pre-installed with the ExaStore clustered distributed storage operating system that can front the company's own DX series 4Gb/s Fibre Channel disk storage or any of a long list of the usual storage systems certified by Exanet.
The company has technical partnership with folks like 3PAR, Red Hat, Intel, EMC, Hitachi and IBM.
