DataCore Lands $30M: Page 2 of 2

DataCore intends to use its partners to help it overcome the perception that NT isn't the best choice. “HP and Fujitsu bring us credibility,” said Horner.

On the customer side, the company's list is varied, and likely to get more so as it accelerates efforts to expand its roster: ABN AMRO Asset Management, Alcatel SA (NYSE: ALA; Paris: CGEP:PA), 7Global (a U.K. ASP), Dannon Corp, Plumbers and PipeFitters pension fund, and Southwestern Bell, among others, are all paying customers.

The new funding also will help expand DataCore’s facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia. More specifically, the company plans to increase sales and marketing across all regions by 10 to 15 percent over the next year. That will entail considerable growth in hiring. DataCore has 185 employees today.
