Atavium lands on Quantum field

Quantum, a leader in secondary storage, just swallowed Atavium and reorganizes engineering division with new comers from the acquired company. I wrote in 2017 two of the rare articles about Atavium, you can read them here and here.

Ed Fiore, former CEO of Atavium now leads the primary storage effort and we understand it covers the block storage F-Series, Quantum end-to-end NVMe product, and we can expect some file system activity as well. The second nomination is related to secondary storage with the lead of Bruno Hald, a 25 years Quantum veteran, confirming the DNA of the company.

With that Quantum reaffirms its focus to unstructured data also fueled by recent ActiveScale acquisition from Western Digital. 2020 starts pretty well for Quantum and we expect to see soon new developments and product iterations.
