Italian ISP Libero Selects Scality Ring Organic Storage

Libero Srl, Italian popular portal, ISP and email
provider, has selected storage at Scality, Inc.‘s RING Organic Storage company
platform to solve its email storage needs and underpin future cloud storage
offerings.

Libero forecasts huge data growth over the coming years, and will integrate Scality‘s scalable and performant storage
with its Critical Path email platform on Dell PowerEdge servers.

Scality’s object storage-based, hardware independent architecture
will enable Libero to scale and manage its email platform more efficiently, while reducing TCO.

Libero’s customers will benefit from increased email storage capacity on a
faster and more reliable storage infrastructure than the legacy system. Part of
the deal also includes an option to use the Scality RING for future
Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) offerings within the framework of Libero’s Cloud
strategy.

"Libero is committed to supplying
fast and reliable email access for our 8 million users," said Antonio Converti, CEO of Libero. "In
order to ensure that our IT systems provide the best performance today and into the future, the
storage infrastructure must support the fastest and most reliable service
delivery and grow with our users’ needs."

"Libero has recognized
that email storage success requires an experienced and specialized approach.
The Scality RING is the most
suitable backend storage for any large-scale email application in the market
today and is capable of
delivering the performance, the functionality and the economics of the cloud
for large scale email platforms," said Jérôme Lecat, CEO of Scality.
