Object Storage as a Service by Key Information Systems

Partnering with Switch, with replicated across Switch's Reno, Las Vegas and Grand Rapids locations

Key Information Systems, Inc. (KeyInfo) unveiled its Object Storage as a Service (STaaS) offering.

Partnering with Switch, the company’s STaaS capabilities will give customers of Switch’s SuperNap and other renowned data centers efficient object storage at a flat rate, decreasing infrastructure costs compared to popular public cloud subscriptions. The STaaS technology is for enterprises and large corporate teams that want the resiliency of redundancy with secure encryption without the extra costs associated with secondary infrastructures.

Enterprises increasingly entrust the cloud for global file systems, archives and high performance workloads. From large video and gaming projects in the media and entertainment industry to x-ray images and patient data in the healthcare industry, reliability is at risk when sprawling teams work on shared files at the same time. Object storage gives these massive environments an inexpensive place to store and manage these archives. STaaS encrypts data in flight and at rest in addition to automatic replication, which delivers lower costs compared to many public cloud offerings.

Our clients manage hundreds of terabytes of data, but usually only a fraction of that is active. Why should they pay multiple times for redundancy, accessibility and performance when object storage technology allows them to efficiently manage their needs for hot and cold data?” said Clayton Weise, director, cloud services, Key Information Systems. “With KeyInfo’s model, we’re automatically giving clients multi-region replication and encryption at no additional cost, helping them save money and consume fewer resources while retaining compliance.

Replicated across Switch’s Reno, Las Vegas and Grand Rapids locations, the STaaS offering also uses Panzura, Inc.‘ file storage technology as a complete platform that ensures high level of performance and availability for its enterprise clients. With Panzura’s global file system, client databases are accessible as local file systems, allowing offices around the world to collaborate on files, especially films, video games, architectural designs and other large projects. In addition to being HIPAA and HITECH compliant, the company also meets regulations for SSAE-16. Firm’s data center infrastructure is managed by IT architects committed to delivering the best customer service and nurturing long-term client partnerships.
