According to reports, Microsoft plans to acquire hybrid cloud data storage company Avere Systems to further integrate the hybrid cloud computing business. This is the focus of Microsoft's cloud strategy, and the cloud platform and local storage are closely linked to provide an efficient file storage solution. According to reports, the entire technology industry is currently transitioning to cloud computing, but Microsoft has set its sights on a new field, trying to link the cloud platform and local storage closely, which is well resolved between public and private cloud storage. There are problems. Today, Microsoft officially announced the acquisition of hybrid cloud data storage company Avere Systems, but did not announce the acquisition amount. Microsoft defines Avere as "a high-performance NFS and SMB file storage vendor for Linux and Windows users running in the cloud, hybrid and local environments." Essentially, Avere Systems is focused on maximizing storage performance, especially It's in expensive flash storage, regardless of where the files are saved. Avere President and CEO Ronald Biaanchini Jr. said in a blog post that since the company's inception, efforts have been made to provide efficient file storage solutions. “Our customers can effectively share content and resources across multiple data storage centers and efficiently use private and public cloud infrastructure.†This is the focus of Microsoft's cloud strategy, so Microsoft's acquisition of Avere is a natural thing. At the same time as the announcement of the acquisition, Jason Zander, vice president of Microsoft Azure, said that Avere used an innovative file system and caching technology to support the performance requirements of large-scale computing workload customers. Such services are very useful for companies like Sony Pictures, IlluminaTIon Mac Guff Animation Studios and MPC. At the same time, Zander also stressed that this technology can also play a role in life sciences, education, oil, natural gas, financial services and manufacturing, and any company can benefit from efficient storage performance and computing resources. Microsoft expects the deal to be reached in the next few months, depending on the approval process. Microsoft said that as part of the deal, some members of the Avere team executives will join the Microsoft board and remain in the office space in Pittsburgh. As Avere Systems becomes part of Microsoft Azure, it's unclear what impact it will have on existing customers, but when a company is acquired as a whole, it usually makes some adjustments to the existing business. Avere was founded in 2008 and recently received $86 million in financing. In March last year, it received $14 million in Series E financing. E-round investors included Google and Western Digital, but were eventually acquired by Microsoft. Previously, Avere's investors included Lightspeed Ventures, Tenaya Capital, Menlo Ventures and Norwest Venture Partners.
