These exceptional customers have fully embraced and reaped the benefits of Infinidat's comprehensive portfolio of enterprise solutions. They envisioned new possibilities with Infinidat and took decisive action, venturing boldly into new realms of storage excellence as pioneers and leaders.

Winner of "The Pioneer" Award (EMEA): Kyndryl - Spain and Portugal

Kyndryl (NYSE: KD) stands as the world's largest IT infrastructure services provider, catering to thousands of enterprise customers across more than 60 countries. Kyndryl Spain and Portugal achieved a significant milestone as the first Infinidat customer globally to utilize InfiniGuard with dual mode, having two different storage instances in the same array: one for the traditional InfiniGuard mode, and the other one for the traditional InfiniBox mode. They currently have four InfiniBoxes for primary storage and two InfiniGuards for secondary storage.

“We’re thankful for receiving The Pioneer Award from Infinidat and having this special recognition. We continuously work hard to advance our ability to best serve our customers, and we have been able to apply Infinidat’s storage technologies to strengthen our infrastructure services,” said Noel Bravo, Alliance and Cloud Manager at Kyndryl - Spain and Portugal. “We see our relationship with Infinidat as a strong partnership. We both have a commitment to high performance. Infinidat is known for their InfiniBox for primary storage, but we have been able to unlock great benefits from their InfiniGuard solution, too. Infinidat’s technologies have enabled us to fulfill our vision for an extremely strong infrastructure that gives our own customers a high degree of confidence.”
