Nimble Storage, a San Jose, CA-based provider of flash-optimized, hybrid storage solutions, has received a $40.7m mezzanine financing.
The round was led by Sequoia Capital and Accel Partners, with participation from existing investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners and new investor GGV Capital.
The company intends to use the capital to expand its operations, with emphasis on sales, engineering and international market development (European and Asia Pacific regions.).
