balesio Joins EMC Velocity² Technology and ISV Partner Program

balesio AG has joined theEMC Velocity Technology and ISV Programme to enhance interoperability between its FILEminimizer solution and EMC Unified Storage.
 
Interoperability of FILEminimizer and the Unified Storage platform enables users to optimise primary storage utilisation for unstructured data. balesio’s Native Format Optimisation (NFO) technology ensures that unstructured files consume 50-90% less space on primary storage. Users of the combined balesio-EMC solution will be able to take greater advantage of the arrays’ existing capacity as FILEminimizer Server running on EMC Unified Storage can fit between two and five times more unstructured data on existing capacity, flattening primary storage growth and maximising storage utilisation and ROI.
 
Chris Schmid, COOr at balesio, comments: "balesio and EMC are both highly committed to helping organisations maximise their storage investments through innovative, reliable and effective technologies such as NFO. This partnership will provide end users with a solution that offers unseen primary storage utilisation for unstructured data. When end users can store 2-5x more unstructured files on their EMC unified storage, it really makes a difference. The combination is a superior offering on the market that gives back budget and resources that were until now locked and yet unused."
 
"EMC is pleased that balesio has joined the EMC Velocity Technology and ISV Program to demonstrate its commitment to excellence in maximising storage resources for its Native Format Optimisation technology," said Eric Herzog, SVP, Product Management and Product Marketing, EMC Unified Storage Division. "We look forward to working with balesio to ensure that our mutual customers have the highest level of support possible for their information infrastructure initiatives."
