Aziende Italia Deploys B2B Email and Cloud Storage Service

Scality, Inc. announced that Aziende Italia S.r.L, a web-hosting
and internet service providers (ISPs) in Italy, has deployed the
Scality RING
cloud storage platform with TwinStrata CloudArray.

The integration of Scality’s RING organic storage platform
into the TwinStrata family of CloudArray virtual and physical appliances was
announced last November.

The combined solution is used by Aziende Italia to
offer unlimited-capacity business email along with a new online backup service
for its B2B customers. 

Aziende Italia’s CTO, Federico D’Ormea, said:
"The unlimited scaling possible with Scality RING, at a very low
production cost, represents for us a definitive solution for all of the cloud
services we’re going to deploy this year. After an extensive evaluation of
various storage technologies, we chose Scality RING’s easy-to-manage
architecture because it has ‘no single point of failure’ and because it will
give us the ability to deploy our new unlimited Business Class Mail service in
a secure environment with very high availability and performance – two of our
customers’ greatest expectations. With the help of Scality’s technologists, we
chose TwinStrata CloudArray, which presents the cloud storage as traditional
block storage, to allow our customers to leverage our cloud storage service
without any change to their infrastructure."

Ann Doyle, VP Sales, TwinStrata, added: "By using
Scality RING with TwinStrata CloudArray, Aziende Italia is now able to meet
customers’ data storage demands in a secure, economical and easy-to-deploy
cloud storage architecture."

Adoption of Scality’s patented RING technology is increasing among business and cloud storage companies throughout Europe. Scality is already the leading cloud storage
vendor in Germany, and the
company now has several customers in Italy. 

"Twinstrata CloudArray coupled with Scality RING
organic storage technology offers a complete solution that delivers the best of
both worlds – compatibility with legacy applications and a radical decrease in
cost. We are glad to see Aziende Italia, one of the most visionary players in
Italy, be the first to provide our combined offering in an integrated
package", said Jérôme Lecat, CEO of Scality.
