Cleversafe and Shutterfly Working Together

Shutterfly provides its customers with free, unlimited, secure storage of photos and the promise to never delete images. Currently, Shutterfly houses billions of images and that number is growing rapidly.
 
Together, Cleversafe and Shutterfly have created an platform that leads the industry in performance, availability and cost.
 
"Our customers are Shutterfly’s number one priority, and protecting and storing their photos without quantity or file size restrictions is integral to our business," said Neil Day, chief technology officer at Shutterfly. "Our working relationship with Cleversafe has allowed us to integrate their ground-breaking technology with our proprietary storage architecture that ensures that we can maintain our industry-leading photo storage policies, while keeping costs under control."
 
"Cleversafe offers a progressive technology for the progressive storage challenges Big Data presents," said Benjamin S. Woo, program vice president, worldwide storage systems, IDC. "By embracing this technology, Shutterfly has taken action to safely store their customers’ uploaded photos with a high level of integrity, scalability and security."
 
"Shutterfly’s selection of Cleversafe’s solution truly speaks to how object-based storage is emerging as the new standard for Big Data storage, particularly in cases involving storage and distribution of unstructured content, such as images, video and audio files," said Chris Gladwin, CEO and president of Cleversafe. "Cleversafe’s platform has the flexibility to be leveraged in larger combinations to increase the integrity and overall storage security that Shutterfly needed."
