330% Revenue Growth for SoftNAS in 2015

SoftNAS, Inc., in software-defined cloud NAS, announced 330% revenue growth and more than a 190% customer increase in 2015.

Driven by the explosive, dispersed nature of data, customers need a protected and reliable hybrid cloud storage solution.

The company’s vision frees customers from scale limitations and hardware dependencies by performing on any IT environment, ensuring fluid data movement regardless of data type or data location.
 
“Selecting SoftNAS has enabled us to expand our storage to the cloud, giving us greater flexibility, agility and resiliency. We are shifting more of our processes to the cloud and are quickly able to provision and manage storage. In addition, we do not have to deal with storage limitations and downtime which has contributed to a hassle-free experience,” stated Keith Son, director of infrastructure, iNDEMAND.

“Software-defined architectures have disrupted the way storage is consumed. Enterprise IT requires freedom of choice, and they are choosing new pay as you grow models enabled by software that were previously unavailable with classic infrastructure,” said Joe Arnold, founder and CPO, SwiftStack, Inc. “Workloads will continue to require flexibility, and collaborating with software-defined storage companies like SoftNAS gives Enterprise IT organizations the option to blend the best technologies available to scale their data as they scale their business.”
 
“With millions of companies worldwide managing critical data, our sole focus is making cloud storage easy, protected and accessible,” said Michael Goodwin, president, CFO and COO, SoftNAS. “We deliver greater agility and flexibility for IT regardless of the cloud platform selected so any business can successfully implement a hybrid cloud strategy.”
