Nvidia has acquired high-performance computing storage firm Excelero.

Founded in 2014 and based in Tel Aviv, Israel, Excelero provides high-performance storage solutions for customers with IO-intensive workloads. The company has developed NVMesh software that manages and secures virtual arrays of NVMe flash drives as block storage available across public and private clouds.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“The Excelero team is joining Nvidia as demand is surging for high-performance computing and AI,” said Yaniv Romem, CEO and co-founder of Excelero. “We’ll be working with Nvidia to ensure our existing customers are supported, and going forward we’re thrilled to apply our expertise in block storage to Nvidia’s world-class AI and HPC platforms.”

Mellanox, since acquired by Nvidia, had previously invested in Excelero. Nvidia said it will continue to support Excelero’s customers by honoring its contracts, and will eventually integrated its technology into Nvidia’s enterprise software stack.

Excelero had raised $35 million across four funding rounds. Investors included Western Digital’s venture arm, Battery Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, and Square Peg Capital.

Nvidia told HPCwire that, while it will continue to support existing customer contracts in maintenance mode, future Excelero products will be discontinued. Further, Excelero branding will not be continued and Excelero will not operate as a standalone division.

Despite losing out on its planned acquisition of Arm, Nvidia also recently acquired HPC cluster management firm Bright Computing.

Last week Nvidia confirmed it suffered a cyberattack and proprietary information was being released online. Samsung appears to have fallen victim to the same LAPSUS$ group, losing around 190GB of information that has begun to be leaked online.
