Scale Computing, a global leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged systems, announced today a collaboration with Wasabi Technologies, a hot cloud storage business. The collaboration offers a quick, dependable, and effective hybrid cloud storage, archiving, and backup solution that enables enterprises to install and manage hundreds of sites efficiently using cloud-like orchestration. Wasabi is a low-cost cloud storage target for large data gathering on Scale Computing's IT infrastructure software platform, enabling businesses to capture and keep data where and when it is required.
“Data collection is increasing exponentially every year across every industry. Video surveillance, IoT sensors, and even legacy applications have the ability to collect more real-time data. This has led to an ever-increasing number of business requirements surrounding data retention and with it, unmanageable data storage costs. This partnership empowers enterprises to run their business-critical applications on Scale Computing alongside the cost-effective public cloud offering from Wasabi. As an enterprise grows, the new solution offers capacity scalability, plus the performance benefits of a hybrid cloud,” said Scott Mann, VP of Sales, ROW & Global Channel Chief, Scale Computing.
Scale Computing software offers a robust IT infrastructure solution that is specifically built for executing applications on-premises. Lightweight and efficient software is packaged for uncontrolled, non-IT settings and maintained centrally, allowing applications to run everywhere and decreasing burdens for IT personnel. With the inclusion of Wasabi hot cloud storage as a data retention and archiving target, both traditional data center and edge computing systems powered by Scale Computing gain more data storage options customized to an organization's budget. Customers of Scale Computing and Wasabi may treat their data as hot data to reduce upload windows and immediately access their data for quicker downloads, and there are no costs for egress or API queries.
“By combining industry-leading, on-premises edge computing with easy-to-use cloud data retention and archival, we’re creating the ideal, agile hybrid cloud environment that today’s organizations need. Wasabi’s solution is 80 percent less expensive and is faster than first-generation cloud vendors, while Scale Computing has a strong reputation for delivering results to leading businesses around the world. We’re thrilled to be partnering with them,”
