Silicon Mechanics Partners With SwiftStack

To build platforms for object storage

Silicon Mechanics, Inc. has partnered with SwiftStack, Inc., an industry software-defined storage (SDS) company, to provide integrated object storage platforms to its customers.

The partnership, solidified by a recent official partnering agreement, enhances Silicon Mechanics’ storage offerings, adding object storage to its Storform JBODs and storage servers, and zStax StorCore NAS/SAN storage options.

The partnering agreement is the next step in a relationship, as the two companies have collaborated with and provided object storage platforms and support for shared customers such as Concur Software, Johns Hopkins University, and NTT, Inc. Silicon Mechanics has worked with SwiftStack to design and implement integrated object storage platforms for these and other customers, providing consultation to ensure the solution delivered meets business requirements for availability, scalability, and cost.

Silicon Mechanics also offers customer support for SwiftStack deployments with available 24×7 on-site support and additional services, deploying resources to resolve issues through software and hardware diagnosis, troubleshooting, and any necessary repairs.

SwiftStack powers enterprises with a SDS platform that delivers a scalable private cloud. The platform simplifies storage management, is scalable and offers integration with existing enterprise systems and infrastructures across multi-geographic data centers. Users will also lower TCO by deploying SwiftStack for their archiving, content delivery and DR requirements. At its core is the OpenStack Swift object storage engine, which also powers large public clouds. The partnership allows the two companies to deliver customers a object storage solution that allows businesses to take advantage of a software-defined architecture.

Today’s world of anytime, anywhere, any data on any device is resulting in the explosive growth of all types of data. Enterprises need a software-defined storage solution that can provide massive scale across geographies while making integration with existing infrastructure simple,” said Joe Arnold, CEO, SwiftStack. “Our partnership with Silicon Mechanics gives customers the simplicity they have been missing in their legacy storage architectures, and the enterprise reliability, availability and scalability they require.

These platforms will be based on a scalable and distributed reference architecture built on commodity hardware, and designed to meet the requirements of each deployment.
