UK’s Beta Distribution Reselling Exablox

Exablox Corp. has partnered with Beta Distribution plc,, a ‘trade only’ distributor supplying technology products and related services in Europe.

Exablox had a banner year in 2015, experiencing more than 400% revenue growth; the partnership will accelerate this growth, opening a growing market for OneBlox, a scale-out object storage solution. Exablox also delivers a secure, multi-tenant, cloud-based management service, OneSystem, enabling organizations to manage OneBlox in any location from any web browser. Beta’s storage expertise makes it a logical choice to be the first to offer Exablox’s affordable, on-premises, scale-out storage solution – which incorporates enterprise features such as inline variable and fixed-length deduplication, inline compression, CDP and zero-configuration storage expansion – to the European market.

Exablox’s OneBlox provides business and technology benefits. It is a solution that offers both inline variable and fixed-length deduplication as well as inline compression, thus maximizing data reduction for primary and secondary storage as well as for backup/recovery targets. This results in data reduction ratios of up to 20:1; as a result, more information can be stored in the same solution, data consumes a smaller amount of storage capacity, and consequently a smaller data center footprint. Exablox has provided its solution to organizations in North America since 2013; it is filling the storage void in Europe with its simple, powerful and flexible scale-out storage solution enabling customers of all sizes to pay as they grow.

“The partnership with Exablox marks the entry of a unique scale-out storage solution into Europe,” David Treadwell, business development manager, Beta Distribution. “Exablox delivers storage benefits historically reserved solely for large enterprises to companies of any size. The ability to provide on-premises storage with the ease of use, scalability and manageability of OneBlox fills a gap in the European market that has not been addressed before.“

“Like North American organizations, European organizations struggle with unstructured data growth and exorbitant storage prices, and are fed up with fork-lift upgrades. They are demanding a better solution,” said Ezra Hookano, VP sales, Exablox. “Our goal is to deliver OneBlox and its enterprise features to businesses worldwide. The partnership with Beta Distribution is a key part of fulfilling this vision.“
