Stellus Technologies lost its CRO

Wow, bad image, Stellus Technologies, a new comer in file storage, just lost its Chief Revenue Officer Ken Grohe. According to his LinkedIn profile, Ken spent just 11 months at Stellus trying to promote and position Stellus Data Platform. What a tough mission when you have to compete against 4 blitzscalers Pure Storage with FlashBlade, Qumulo, VAST Data and WekaIO.


This departure strengthens the mystery around Stellus, its roots, its financing and links with Samsung and its technology. The company is very confidential with almost nothing on its website which is not good. Stellus promotes a new file system, I mean an internal one as it exposes NAS and S3 protocols, and I found some similar ideas in ZettaFS, the file system developed by Zetta, the company co-founded by Jeff Treuhaft, Jeff Whitehead and Lou Montulli in 2008. Hopefully Samsung backs up the company cause as of today they succeed to avoid the market.
