Storage startup GreenBytes grabs $7.5M in funding
By Galen Moore

Heartlab founder Robert Petrocelli is back with another Rhode Island
startup –- this time taking his success with health-care information
technology into the enterprise data storage market at large.

Founded in 1994, Westerly, R.I.-based Heartlab Inc. sold in 2005 to
Agfa-Gevaert NV for $132.5 million. The company made software for storing
cardiology images.

Petrocelli is now CTO and founder at GreenBytes Inc. The Ashaway-based
company is providing network-attached storage systems designed to improve
efficiency.

GreenBytes, which announced its launch last September, has raised $7.5
million of an $8 million round of financing, according to documents filed
with federal regulators.

The documents name Battery Ventures general partner Sunil Dhaliwal as an
investor in the company. Neither Dhaliwal nor Petrocelli could be reached
for comment in time for this article.

GreenBytes' Cypress data storage system is an "optimized" Sun Microsystems
Inc. (Nasdaq: JAVA) Sun Fire X4540 server running the OpenSolaris operating
system. GreenBytes adds a proprietary extension to Sun's ZFS file system
called ZFS+. According to the company's website, ZFS+ improves on other
Massive Array of Idle Disks (MAID) storage systems by providing real-time
de-duplication, block-level compression and intelligent power management,
and eliminating intra-server conflicts between the disk subsystem and the
file system.
