Storage
Cloud and Data Management
10Fold has a history of launching industry success stories, whether it's going public or acquiring massive funding.
Whether it’s understanding how to explain the value of a hybrid cloud strategy, managing a database, container storage, or hyperconvergence, we have it covered.
In our long history in the storage industry, the agency has had the opportunity to build brands that reached “unicorn” status and set records. For example, in 1999 10Fold (then Trainer Communications) took Brocade public (and that was one of the biggest IPOs of what was a standout year for huge IPOs). Since then, 10Fold launched industry successes such as Data Domain, Nutanix, and Druva. From an exit standpoint, Virident and Nimble Storage both had impressive acquisition exits with the support of our brand-building strategies.
10Fold launched Nimble Storage out of stealth mode in July of 2010, and the company remained a client until Oct. 2013, when it filed its S1. Nimble’s founders and VCs knew they had unique technology but also knew that in a market with stiff competition and large incumbents (EMC, NetApp, Dell, etc.), it would be challenging to persuade customers to 1) adopt Nimble’s “new approach” and not a competitor’s, and 2) persuade prospects to adopt Nimble rather than making a “safe bet” with an incumbent. Through 10Fold’s expert advice on positioning, analyst strategy and aggressive media relations efforts, the team was instrumental in creating the company’s visibility and thought leadership. Nimble Storage was purchased by HPE for $1B in 2017.
