Scality Confirms Distribution Agreement With HP …

Ring storage software on ProLiant servers

Scality, Inc. has signed a global resale agreement with Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP.

HP can now offer storage solutions combining Scality’s RING storage software on its ProLiant servers to businesses around the world.

The two companies deliver enterprise storage for 80% of storage workloads across file, object, and VM-based applications at a cost that is competitive with public cloud.

Unlike traditional object storage products, Scality addresses more than just archive use cases, doesn’t require add-on gateways and complexity to support NAS and file-based applications, and is proven in many multi-petabyte production deployments.

The new petabyte-scale SDS solutions will leverage different configurations of RING software and the ProLiant SL4500 and DL380/360 product lines to address a broad range of enterprise and service provider use cases including active archives, content distribution, web and cloud services, distributed computing, and global enterprise cloud.

RING runs on HP industry standard servers as an application, supporting current and future ProLiant Servers. The combination provides performance and low latency across large and small files; support for bandwidth and IO/s focused workloads; petabyte-scale; and always-on availability.

The solutions are available from the two companies’ sales teams and channel partners worldwide. The agreement between them includes joint sales and marketing investments.

The market demand for software-defined storage is clear. HP and Scality customers need real answers to massive storage capacity growth and we have worked closely together to develop an awesome solution,” said Erwan Menard, COO, Scality. “HP and Scality have already successfully collaborated on customer sites in the US, in Europe and in Japan, for over four years, with over 50PB installed. Together, we have delivered successful deployments at Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Dailymotion, RTL2, SFR, Telenet, eTF1 and many more. Today, we’re thrilled to take our partnership to the next level with this announcement.”

With the explosion of unstructured data growth, it is critical that organizations invest in file and object storage solutions that can effectively support their needs, now and into the future,” said Chuck Smith, VP, business development, HP servers. “HP ProLiant servers with Scality provide an enterprise object storage solution that scales out linearly as a single distributed, protected system across multiple active sites, thousands of servers, sizing beyond petabytes, and unlimited objects.

This is a market-shaping deal for Scality, HP, and customers,” said Terri McClure, senior analyst at ESG. “Scality gets global scale with a robust, resurgent enterprise partner in HP. HP gets an innovative software partner in Scality – one that is helping to redefine storage with its high-performance SDS platform. More customers worldwide will experience a new class of software-defined hyperscale storage that flexibly combines great software with an array of server hardware to meet a wide range of use cases IT organizations face today.”
