Cloudian Bookings Growing 50% Y/Y in February 1 to July 31 Period

Cloudian, Inc. announced record bookings for the first half of its fiscal year (February 1 – July 31), increasing 50% over the same period last year.

The growth was driven by strength in both reorders from existing customers and sales to new customers. The company now has approximately 650 customers worldwide, up 40% over the past year.

Highlights for the last six months included:

Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Distributed File Systems and Object Storage – Based on feedback and ratings from end-user professionals, it is the only company to receive this distinction for 2 consecutive years.
Increasing adoption of S3 Object Lock ransomware protection – More than 100 customers have deployed the solution, which provides data immutability to prevent cybercriminals from encrypting or deleting backup data and thereby enables quick and easy recovery of an uninfected backup in the event of a ransomware attack, without paying ransom.
AWS Outposts Ready designation – Deployed alongside AWS Outposts in a data center, Cloudian object storage software enables AWS Outposts customers to employ on-premises, Amazon S3-compatible storage to serve use cases that demand scalability, data residency and low-latency data access.
Availability of Cloudian object storage on VMware Cloud Foundation with Tanzu – The solution provides a single, shared storage environment for multiple use cases across modern and traditional applications.
Major customer wins – The firm continued to win business with customers across every industry, including a leading data center operator, a global financial services company, a top wireless carrier, a national healthcare IT provider, a US broadcast network and a multinational energy producer.
Recognition for industry-leading security – Building on previous security awards and government certifications, S3 Object Lock was named Best BC/DR Solution in the 2021 SC Awards, recognized as a standard of excellence in cybersecurity.
