Scale Computing and Veeam Enter Partnership

To deliver disk-based DR solution

Scale
Computing, Inc.
has entered a Technology Alliance Partnership with
Veeam Software, Inc.



"As we continue to offer
additional value-added solutions to our customers, the alliance of Scale
storage solutions and Veeam is an ideal combination,
" said Jeff Ready,
CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. "Together, Scale and Veeam deliver an affordable, easy to manage backup
and DR solution for the VMware or Hyper-V environments of small and
medium-sized businesses. This collaborative solution will work as the backup
and DR solution compatible with any existing primary storage, or it can
function as both primary and secondary storage. More than 70 percent of Scale’s
customers are already using VMware or Hyper-V with Scale Computing as their
primary storage solution.
"

Veeam Backup & Replication provides fast, flexible and reliable
recovery of virtualized applications and data for both VMware vSphere and
Microsoft Hyper-V environments. It combined with
Scale Computing’s ICOS-based storage clusters will enable networked storage for the production, backup repository and DR environment. The
scale-out ability of the Scale storage solution will also enable customers to add
storage capacity and performance, the flexibility to mix and match node
densities, and less storage downtime since there is no single point of failure.

"We are happy to add
Scale Computing as a Premier Technology Alliance Partner verified on Veeam Backup
& Replication v6,
" said Rick Hoffman, Vice President of Worldwide
Alliances and Channels at Veeam Software. "This partnership will provide customers a leading backup solution as
well as a top disk-based storage product.
"

Customers deploying
Scale’s storage and Veeam
can expect benefits, including:

  • A networked storage for the
    production, backup repository and DR infrastructure that is able to scale as
    the environment grows
  • VM-level replication between remote sites
  • VM-level, agentless system backup and recovery
  • Failover control that is quick and simple for the whole VM
    (not application specific)
  • Special Promotion

To help promote this new alliance, two Veeam and Scale Computing
distributors are offering a special promotion to VARs who sell
or wish to sell the Scale + Veeam bundled solution.

Starting today and through
May 31, 2012, resellers of Ingram Micro and Promark and their customers will be
able to purchase a DR bundle that includes Scale Computing hardware and two
Veeam licenses for nearly half the price of the hardware alone. This represents
a $1,900 discount over the MSRP of both solutions than if they were
purchased separately.

"We are very excited that
two of our major distribution partners have decided that this alliance is
beneficial for their resellers and, ultimately, SMB end-users,
" said
Peter Fuller, vice president of business development of Scale Computing. "We look forward to working closely with
these partners to give customer sites around the world the affordable data
protection they need.
