NetApp Announces Intent to Acquire Instaclustr, the Industry Leading Platform for Deploying and Managing Open-Source Data and Workflow Applications as a Service

Acquisition Will Bring Management, Monitoring and Optimization for Storage, Compute and Data Together with Fully Managed Application Services to Provide Customers a Platform for Cloud Applications from the Datacenter to the Public Cloud

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 8 April 2022 – NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Instaclustr, a leading platform provider of fully managed open-source database, pipeline and workflow applications delivered as a service. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions.

Modern cloud applications rely on a growing set of foundational services including multiple open-source databases, data pipelines, and workflow solutions. Efficiently managing the growing complexity and operational requirements of these applications and services adds new challenges for already overstretched infrastructure, database and operations teams, increasing application integration and delivery costs, slowing application delivery and limiting application innovation.

“NetApp has long been a leader in solutions enabling customers to run applications,” said George Kurian, CEO at NetApp. “The acquisition of Instaclustr will combine NetApp’s established leadership in continuous storage and compute optimization with Instaclustr’s fully-managed database and data pipeline services to give customers a Cloud Operations platform that provides the best and most optimized foundation for their applications in the public clouds and on premises.”

The acquisition of Instaclustr builds on a series of strategic acquisitions made by NetApp to deliver a leading best-of-suite platform for CloudOps. NetApp’s strategic acquisitions including Spot, CloudCheckr, Data Mechanics, Fylamynt and now Instaclustr have made Spot by NetApp a compelling platform for applications on one cloud and across multiple clouds–continuous optimization, automation, monitoring, and security combined with expertise deploying and operating open-source applications, all delivered as a service, on public and private clouds to give customers more cloud with less cost and less time.

“Data management technology platforms are an increasingly essential priority for today’s modern enterprise as companies look for new ways to accelerate application development for competitive advantage. Instaclustr delivers fully managed open-source solutions that give companies increased productivity and reduced cost,” said Peter Lilley, CEO and Co-founder at Instaclustr. “Instaclustr’s growth has been driven by the fact that companies want to leverage open-source databases, pipelines, and workflow applications without overwhelming themselves with the complexity and cost of managing and operating them. We are excited for organizations building applications for their multi-cloud and hybrid cloud reality to benefit directly from Instaclustr’s data PaaS solutions along with NetApp and Spot by NetApp’s infrastructure solutions, while minimizing operations burdens.”

“As companies race to modernize and digitally transform in the cloud, they must implement solutions that enable them to focus more on building and releasing cutting-edge applications at speed, spending less on infrastructure management and operations,” said Anthony Lye, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Public Cloud Services at NetApp. “Instaclustr does just that and will be a significant addition to our Spot by NetApp portfolio, solving common challenges of cloud complexity, cost overruns, single vendor lock-in, and customers’ lack of internal technical resources. The acquisition marks a critical advancement in our strategy to run application driven platforms and infrastructures.”

“From a technology and product perspective, NetApp’s powerful infrastructure solutions pair perfectly with Instaclustr’s data-layer-as-a-service solutions and services,” said Ben Bromhead, CTO and Co-founder at Instaclustr. “For enterprise customers operating applications in the public cloud or on-prem, NetApp and Instaclustr’s combined platform will offer an unparalleled solution for overcoming cloud complexities while eliminating vendor lock-in risks and the high costs of building and maintaining that same expertise internally.”

Dr. Andy Lee, Co-Chairman of Neuron and East Asia Chief Operating Officer of Arup, said: “Neuron is a powerful demonstration of our commitment to a sustainable future. It offers a systematic approach to decarbonising the built environment by unlocking the potential of data and technology. With this joint venture, we aim to scale up the accessibility and usability of Neuron via cloud platforms, facilitating the industry to accelerate the journey to net zero.”

Mr. Benson Tam, Co-Chairman of Neuron and Founder & Chairman of Venturous Group, said: “Neuron is proudly a ‘child of Hong Kong’. We are so excited to launch it here. Neuron is an infrastructure key to Smart Cities, which is at the core of our firm’s mission. At Venturous Group we not only invest, but also build and operate Citytech. Neuron is a perfect example of what we can achieve together with best-in-class, long-term strategic partners such as Arup.”

Headquartered in Hong Kong, Neuron is already serving several prominent clients in the local market. With a global reach, Neuron has won numerous domestic as well as international innovation and environmental awards to date.

Wholesale Platform Peeba Gets US$4.2M Seed Funding to Empower Asia’s Independent Retailers

By reducing inventory risk, Peeba helps independent retailers expand quickly and confidently

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 7 April 2022 – Peeba, the online B2B wholesale platform, has secured US$4.2 million in seed funding to help Asian retailers thrive amid pandemic-induced pressure. The funding round was led by Headline Ventures. Hong Kong-based Peeba will use the funds to deepen its localization efforts across 11 APAC countries, as well as to further build out the machine learning technologies underlying its platform.

Digitizing Asias Antiquated B2B Wholesale Market

Asia’s antiquated B2B retail wholesale market was heavily impacted by pandemic lockdowns. Currently, most independent Asian retailers rely on trade shows and in-person sales visits to source new brands and products. This approach is slow and arduous, involving significant legwork even without the added complication of COVID-19 interrupting in-person meetings.

In response, Peeba has created its B2B wholesale online platform to connect unique brands from around the world – including Asia – with independent retailers across APAC. The company has already onboarded 25,000 retail users (10x growth in the last year), and 1,500 unique brands (3x growth in the last year), with over 100,000 products currently listed on the platform.

With the closing of its seed funding round, Peeba’s next steps are to use the funds to deepen localization. The company is expanding its local offices and ramping up hiring to improve local language support across 11 APAC countries and regions, including Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. In addition, Peeba is continuing to improve the platform’s underlying tech, which includes automated credit checks and credit risk analysis, and its machine learning-driven recommendations engine.

“Our mission is to transform how independent retailers discover and connect with unique brands, and bring Asia’s B2B wholesale retail supply chain into the modern era in the process. Peeba’s major value-add is how we reduce inventory risk for retailers, through our 60-day returns policy and “sell first, pay later” model. That allows retailers to quickly adjust to post-pandemic realities with greater confidence,” said Jacky Lai, CEO of Peeba.

Asias Noticeable Lack of B2B Wholesale Tech Infrastructure

As Asia’s retailers were forced online amid pandemic-related lockdowns, it became obvious the region had insufficient tech infrastructure to streamline new brand discovery. This near total lack of B2B-focused online wholesale solutions resulted in a highly manual process, meaning inefficiency and risks hamper business growth, innovation, and new channel and/or market entries, even despite the pandemic. In addition, there’s the sheer complexity of the fragmented Asian market. There are high barriers to entry and expansion for brands seeking growth in APAC, due to the wide range of languages, currencies, regulatory environments, and business practices across the region.

Peeba has set out to solve all these issues. The platform significantly reduces inventory risk for Asian retailers, who can return unsold goods within 60 days, no questions asked, encouraging them to test and adapt their product offerings with peace of mind. Peeba also offers favorable payment terms to retailers based on an automated in-house credit assessment, meaning retailers can “sell first, pay later.” By bringing the wholesale process onto one platform, Peeba is leveling the playing field for Asia’s SME/SMB retailers, who individually have low bargaining power to gain access to unique brands. And the platform also lowers barriers to entry and expansion for unique brands seeking growth in Asia, by providing a single platform through which to attract and manage new channels, clients, and orders.

We digitize new brand discovery, automate the negotiation and client management process, and streamline logistics and shipping by pooling orders. All this contributes to improving operational efficiency and lowering costs for all parties. Retailers love the smooth discovery to ordering process, and higher margins they get by sourcing products through Peeba,” said Kevin Cho, Co-founder of Peeba.

“Peeba is bringing about the next stage of global retail innovation. The platform brings both emerging and traditional brands to the world of local retail in Asia. We are excited to become Peeba’s partner to help expand their reach into more markets in Asia,” said Akio Tanaka, partner & co-founder at Headline VC.

About Peeba

Founded in 2020, Peeba is a fast-growing online B2B wholesale marketplace that provides independent retailers across Asia access to a curated catalog of unique brands, reduced inventory risk, higher operational efficiency, and lower costs. With the vision to help companies “Buy Smart, Sell More,” Peeba is set to transform the way Asia’s retailers discover and connect with unique brands, with cutting-edge machine learning technology and innovative supply chain management systems.
