StorSimple was a privately held company based in Santa Clara, California, marketing cloud storage.
StorSimple was funded by venture capital from Index Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Ignition Partners, and Mayfield Fund for a total of $31.5 million. It was founded in 2009 by former Cisco Systems and Brocade Communications Systems executives Ursheet Parikh and Guru Pangal.
StorSimple marketed a cloud storage gateway computer appliance called Cloud-integrated Storage (CiS). Their approach claimed to integrate primary storage data deduplication, automated tiered storage of data (across local and cloud storage), data compression, encryption, and significantly faster data backup and disaster recovery times. StorSimple was certified for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and VMware. It integrated with cloud storage from Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Rackspace. In 2012 StorSimple was considered to be at the forefront of its genre.
The appliance had an iSCSI interface using 10 Gigabit Ethernet and used serial ATA disks as well as solid-state drives. In April 2012, StorSimple announced the replacement of its 2U 5010 (2.5TB raw capacity) and 7010 (5TB raw) models: the 5020 with 2TB of raw capacity, the 7020 (4TB), 5520 (10TB) and the 4U 7520 (20TB).
