balesio Passing 1,000th Enterprise Customer Mark
Saving "between 500TB and 1PB" of primary storage with FILEminimizer
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on July 19, 2012 at 3:00 pmbalesio AG, has reached a milestone in the company’s history by passing its 1,000th enterprise customer mark, and having saved organisations between 500TB and1 PB of costly primary storage thanks to its FILEminimizer technology that reduces the size of unstructured data files.
An enterprise customer refers to companies who have purchased a substantial amount of balesio solutions, not only a couple of desktop licenses.
"Storage is one of the highest costs in IT so everyone is looking for innovative and effective ways to curb its growth. To date over 1,000 enterprises have invested in our Native Format Optimisation (NFO) technology, reclaiming between half and one petabyte of expensive primary storage. Taking average industry standards for TCO of storage, balesio saved customers up to $10M in storage and storage management costs through NFO," said Daniel Bernard, CEO at balesio. "These are numbers any vendor would be proud of, especially a start up one like us, who is so innovative people sometimes try to compare us to deduplication of compression providers because they have never seen anything like FILEminimizer."
Since its foundation in 2008, balesio has forged ahead with a growth strategy. This has included developing relationships with storage players such as EMC, VMware and HP. The company’s achievements have also been recognised by independent analyst house IDC with its Hot Vendor Profile: balesio, a New Breed of Data Reduction Technology.
With enterprise customers ranging from private companies to public sector institutions such as the US Army Corps of Engineers and US Marines Corps, Tavistock College and CBRE Group, NFO technology is now in deployment across the world.
"With big data forecast to remain a significant issue for most data centre administrators, we are dedicated to helping enterprises benefit from primary storage needs reduction rates of up to 90%. This is made possible through our patented NFO technology which not only immediately increases storage ROI but also helps enhance bandwidth and therefore network performance by minimising the size of Microsoft Office, PDF and other image files without impacting the original file quality or format as competing technologies do," explained Daniel.
