Cleversafe Got 40PB Enterprise Customer Engagement

Cleversafe Inc. is on pace for another record year, closing its most recent quarter with a 40+ petabyte enterprise customer engagement.

At full deployment, this system will be one of the largest data repositories currently in existence. Cleversafe’s customer, an Internet-based company that needs to maintain its business advantage of offering accessible, life-long content storage and retrieval for its customers is an example of the kind of problem Cleversafe’s Dispersed Storage technology is designed to address.

With a new addition to its management team and industry accolades from influencers and industry peers, Cleversafe continues to gain a lead as a visionary alternative to solving today’s Big Data storage problem. Most notable was Cleversafe’s Execullence Award for Most Disruptive Technology during the ExecEvent for Virtualization and Cloud, recognition by Crain’s Chicago Business as a 2011 Who’s Who among leading Chicago businesses and Built In Chicago which named Cleversafe one of the Top 50 Digital Technology Companies in Chicago.

"2011 has been a remarkable year thus far. Not only have we achieved strong growth and are well positioned as we head into 2012, but we’re in the midst of a turning point for the storage industry," said Chris Gladwin, Cleversafe CEO and president. "Traditional storage no longer makes sense for companies dealing with massive amounts of unstructured data. Enterprises are clammoring for a solution that’s secure, reliable and scalable," said Gladwin. "We believe we’re well positioned to lead the next generation of storage with Dispersed Storage technology. It’s our time to tell that story."

Russ Kennedy recently joined as the VP of Product Strategy. He has more than 20 years of experience in the storage industry, and has expertise in product management, product marketing, and establishing key technical and go-to market alliances.

Cleversafe also announced enhancements to its platform that improve the scalability and reliability of cloud storage. New features include support for VMware, 3TB HDDs, Named Object/S3 Compliance, enhanced Disk Lifecycle Management and manageability with interactive graphs as well as support for user-definable timelines.
