TwinStrata and UK Hosting Provider Peer 1 Team Up

TwinStrata, Inc. has achieved Bronze Partner Program status with hosting provider, PEER 1 Hosting, demonstrating TwinStrata’s commitment to supporting cloud storage providers along with their customers.

"TwinStrata’s CloudArray provides access to the best of what cloud storage technology is all about," said Tim Varma, vice president of product development for PEER 1 Hosting. "Since many businesses are not comfortable with separating primary data storage from applications, CloudArray makes enormous sense. Features such as intelligent and dynamic caching, plug and play iSCSI protocols and a seamless integration with existing backup software makes it easy for businesses to adopt without business interruption or change. Combined with the reliability and scalability of our CloudOne Storage platform, our customers have immediate access to enterprise-class storage that is low cost, low risk and easy to implement."

With the addition of TwinStrata, PEER 1 Hosting has strengthened its storage partner ecosystem. TwinStrata provides simple and secure access to PEER 1 Hosting’s CloudOne Storage platform for a customer’s specific offsite data protection and disaster recovery needs.

"Economic uncertainty, keeping pace with technology and having access to adequate capital are very real challenges for today’s SMBs," said TwinStrata CEO Nicos Vekiarides. "Our vision at TwinStrata is to deliver data protection and storage solutions that are easy to deploy, simple to use, with functionality and cost-efficiencies that were once the realm of enterprise organizations. PEER 1 is a leading cloud provider who shares our vision. Together, we are introducing a ‘zero friction’ entry point to an enterprise-class storage infrastructure in the cloud that is adaptable, affordable and easy to implement."

"According to recent ESG research, 80% of the users we surveyed will spend at least some of their 2011 budget in IT infrastructure cloud services, with close to half reporting moderate to significant spending on cloud Infrastructure as a service," said Terri McClure, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "ESG believes the economics for businesses to deploy offsite data protection and storage are compelling and considers this partnership good for the market as it directly addresses end-user needs for simple, secure, and affordable offsite storage expansion."
