[9] De Spiegeleer founded Racktivity, Datacenter Technologies, Hostbasket and Dedigate [10] and has been quoted as a proponent for European adoption of cloud computing.
[11] De Spiegeleer is also the CEO of Incubaid, which focuses on developing technology ventures via cloud computing and green data centers.
Some employees of Amplidata were employed by DataCenter Technologies, which was acquired by Symantec in 2005 and Q-layer, which became part of Sun Microsystems in 2009.
[9] Big Bang Ventures is known for specializing in funding for start-ups and strives to provide expertise and connections to entrepreneurs in the technology sector.
[9] According to CEO and Founder De Wispelaere, Amplidata needed the funding to boost sales and marketing activities in Europe.
[7] Amplidata technology aims to overcome the limitations of RAID by the increasing length of time required to rebuild larger capacity drives.
[6] Amplidata works to reduce the risk for data loss from one event in years—as measured on current storage systems—to one in thousands of years.
[5] It is a RAID replacement technology based on erasure coding that spreads data and parity out across multiple nodes in the storage grid.
[5] This aims to reduce the amount of work that BitSpread needs to do on a component failure and is expected to improve overall system reliability.
[5] Then, in turn, it will give high random read performance with the SSD cache, local in the application server for the most frequently accessed data.
[5] In addition, BitLog includes thin provisioning, unlimited snapshots, writeable clones and out-of-band optimization.
