Data Storage Solution Company Nyriad Closes $28 Million

By Noah Long • Nov 29, 2021
  • Nyriad announced recently that it raised $28 million in funding. These are the details.

Nyriad announced recently that it raised $28 million in funding, primarily from existing investors. These funds will be used for accelerating the company’s global go-to-market and engineering efforts for its reimagined storage solution based on a new architecture that redefines how data is stored and managed.

Nyriad’s new architecture combines the power of both GPUs and CPUs for delivering an unprecedented combination of performance, resilience, and efficiency, enabling massive amounts of data and multiple data types to be managed in a single storage system that is simple to deploy, operate, and scale in a cost-effective way.

In October 2020, the company had completed a financing of $8.3 million to fund development and prepare its entry into the U.S. market. And in September 2021, Nyriad announced it had relocated its global headquarters to the U.S. from New Zealand. The recently closed funding of $28 million will also be used to expand the company’s capabilities and resources in the U.S. and worldwide.
