Scality Signs With Ingram Micro

Scality SA announced a strategic alliance with Ingram Micro, Inc. to advance the distribution of Artesca, its secure, simple object-storage software for immutable backups throughout USA.

The relationship with Ingram Micro provides channel partners increased access to Scality’s solutions for ransomware protection, hybrid cloud, and AI. Industry trends show a rise in demand for on-premise Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) object storage to address these vital use cases.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Distributed File and Object Storage reports that 70% of data will be deployed on a consolidated, unstructured data platform by 2028. Additionally, in the latest report by Mordor Intelligence, North America accounts for the largest projected market share of object-based storage.

“We are excited to elevate our Ingram Micro relationship to meet the most critical priorities facing IT today,” said Wally MacDermid, Scality VP WW alliances and distribution. “We are seeing explosive adoption of Artesca, which is our channel-friendly, cyber-resilient solution with leading providers, including Veeam. Artesca is a compelling choice for VARs seeking to generate new revenue streams and help their customers address today’s ransomware challenges.“

This news follows the recent launch of Artesca 2.0, which has seen a 5x Y/Y growth rate where channel partners are driving 100% of the business. With features such as easy-to-deploy appliance options and a reasonable entry price, the enterprise-grade object store has fueled the increasing demand for Scality’s backup solutions.

The French firm is supercharging its relationship with Ingram Micro, investing in the necessary marketing resources, support, training, and financial incentives to identify and lock down new opportunities. Together, the 2 partners will work to ensure that channel partners have the right solutions to solve their customers’ most complex storage needs.

“Secure and actionable data are driving more opportunities within our IT ecosystem, yet the first step for channel partners is to ensure that proper storage and backup solutions are in play. We are pleased to expand our data solutions portfolio with Scality and help our channel partners enhance protection for their businesses and customers,” said Cheryl Rang, VP technology solutions, Ingram Micro.
