Alliance Storage Reselling Sony Optical Disc Archive

Alliance Storage Technologies, Inc. (ASTI) ise an authorized Sony Optical Disc Archive Solutions reseller.

The synergistic arrangement highlights the capabilities and resources of both companies. ASTI has decades of experience developing, manufacturing, and supporting professional storage archiving solutions for industries including healthcare, financial, legal, government and more.

Sony has designed Optical Disc Archive technology to meet the stringent storage and performance requirements of the media and entertainment industry.

With ASTI’s history of optical technology evolving from the early 1980’s, the company’s attraction to Sony’s systems was understandable.

“ASTI continually researches storage technologies that might complement our internal development efforts,” added ASTI VP, Tim Summers. “The Sony Optical Disc Archive products offer the most advanced optical technology on the market, far surpassing previous generations of optical technologies and other products available in the current marketplace, with the added bonus of an impressive product roadmap.“

The combination of these capabilities places ASTI in an excellent position to deliver a storage archiving solution. The next generation solution incorporates a modular approach allowing customers to design an archive platform with any combination of on-premises, cloud, or a hybrid, with centralized monitoring, control, and management of the entire archiving ecosystem. The optional optical tier provides the assurance that data is permanently stored and protected over the long-term. The solution is tightly integrated with Sony Optical Disc Archive products and offers TCO, high capacity footprint, and performance. ASTI anticipates that the solution will solidify the industry perception that optical is a desirable technology for archiving.

“Sony enthusiastically welcomes Alliance Storage Technologies as an Optical Disc Archive Solutions reseller. With their extensive archiving experience, existing large install base, and established sales channel, they bring great value to Sony,” said Alan Gagliardotto, Sony. “ASTI’s broad reach into many industries complements Sony’s focus on media and entertainment. ASTI is positioned to expand adoption of Optical Disc Archive technologies into new markets while delivering integrated archiving solutions that will greatly benefit customers.“

ASTI partner affiliations include VARs, channel partners, distributors, and authorized service providers, each hand selected to provide customers with technology, sales, service, and support.

“Optical science and technology have continued to evolve with Sony’s state of the art developments at the forefront. Incorporating these recent innovations makes good sense from a business perspective and for our customers“, emphasized Chris Carr, CEO. “We are very excited about the release of our upcoming archive solution and the Sony relationship which will enable us to reach new and existing markets.“

According to Carr, availability of the integrated solution is targeted for 2Q16.
