A cloud storage platform has opened a new R&D office in India.
CloudByte’s new 6,000-sq/ft premises in Bangalore will be home to an expanded engineering team of 50, after its number of engineers doubled over the last 12 months.
But the firm has announced it hopes to continue expanding and wants to hire more "technology rockstars".
COO and founder Srivibhavan Balaram said: "By enabling service providers and enterprises to move more applications to the cloud and shared storage environments, CloudByte’s storage QoS [quality of service] product has been gaining tremendous traction in 2013.
"We believe it’s the right time to expand our engineering team, with the new office offering higher seating capacity and bigger lab environments.
"We welcome our new employees and are looking forward to hiring more technology rockstars to be part of our exciting journey."
Ravi Gururaj, chairman of India’s National Association of Software and Services Companies, believes Indian firms such as CloudByte will grow to rival industry leaders.
He added: ""I’ve been watching CloudByte right from its inception in 2011 and I am pleased to see the founders build an innovative technology company, which is at the forefront of the software-defined storage revolution."
