Alliance Between ProphetStor and Enterprise Cloud Provider in APAC Peering One

ProphetStor Data Services, Inc. announced a strategic alliance with Peering One Sdn Bhd, an enterprise cloud provider in APAC, to integrate its StellarFlash in their Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) business model, providing a path to self-driving data centers.

The STaaS is house to array of customer data inclusive of production workloads, VMs, private cloud and DR. The partnership was aimed to meet enterprise data center customers’ needs for high QoS with Pay-Per-Use (PPU) model.

The complexity of customer’s data center experience has resulted in an increased demand for efficient and reliable data services. The bottleneck in delivering a user experience for digital services is not down to processing power but is because of storage. While SSDs offer improvements in storage performance, they are still expensive and a mere pipedream for many.

StellarFlash is a storage array that takes advantage of SSDs to allow cloud providers like Peering One to deliver the best user experiences possible in helping customers achieve assured QoS with a service-driven model.

This STaaS service is hosted at Peering One’s data centers; being the first data centers in Malaysia and second data center in APAC to secure a tier-3 design certification by the Uptime Institute, LLC. Tier-3 certification is awarded to data centers with the highest reliability and availability level.

“A combined solution from ProphetStor and Peering One can bring the transparency and visibility of storage utilization to users.  Thus, eliminates the inefficiency associated with managing BC,” said Chin Kar Wai, COO, Peering One. “As a next-generation enterprise cloud provider, we have the foundation to provide these services now and beyond with pay-per-yse business model.“

“It sounds like an expensive proposition but it is not,” said regional director of South Asia Simon Ng. “StellarFlash is ProphetStor’s patented artificial intelligence storage array. With Peering One, we are able to create an end-to-end STaaS offerings while delivering the best AI-based QoS to enterprise and data center in most cost-effective TCO in the industry.“
