Scality have deployed 260+ enterprise solutions since 2014. Offering numerous advantages to help organisations tackle challenges in dealing with data growth in the digital environment such as improving IT processes, simplifying IT management, and reinforcing agility, while maintaining the cloud like experience.

What does Scality offer?

One platform with two solutions. Scality’s first multi-petabyte customers has been operating their RING since 2010 and have had zero downtime, even through major hardware upgrades/replacements, datacentre outages. RING is a scale-out file and object storage ready for core enterprises and cloud data centres.

Whereas Artesca is a lightweight, cloud-native, object storage avenue for edge sites and test environments to start with one mode subscription licenses. While both solutions offer many benefits, here’s a key three…

Benefits of Hybrid Cloud Computing

1. Unbreakable cloud storage for data centres

A common challenge organisations face is combatting data disasters such as power outages, disk drive failures, data disappearances and even ransomware. Being more prepared helps reduce panic, allowing for a more effective response and less disruption. Downtime can be detrimental, for example, a single hour of downtime totals $300,000 or more for 91% of mid-sized to large enterprises. 

Traditional storage approaches are not designed for the modern day work environment and their limited scalability often results in costly silo management headaches. Organisations need a secure, cost-effective solution that can scale as they grow over the years; a storage solution which enables fast innovation rather than limiting progress.

Scality can offer a solution of unbreakable cloud storage for data centres that unifies the virtues of the public cloud with the control, performance, and security advantages of on-premises private cloud infrastructure. Encompassing multiple layers of protection to keep data from being unavailable, lost, corrupt, unintentionally modified, deleted, or overwritten.

But what makes Scality so unbreakable? Cloud storage for data centres delivers a formidable combination of speed, scale, and safety. It is adaptable, easily managed, and immutable, which is important in the fight against and recovering from ransomware attacks, as well as other incidents.

2. Cost-effective, stress-free data management 

Scality helps reduce infrastructure costs by aligning with business outcomes via 147% ROI, plus 30-40% TCO savings due to eliminating overprovisioning.

Scality also leads to reduced compliance and operational costs, allowing organisations to scale up and down their operations while keeping object storage and related costs down. Additionally, adopting Scality results in a boost to end-user productivity, aiding organisations to achieve greater agility and capture new opportunities. By simplifying IT operations and eliminating data blindness, organisations can expect to increase IT productivity by 40% while resulting in up to 1,000x faster query response times across billions of files.

3. Freedom from the chaos and cost of ransomware

Scality provides the peace of mind over your organisation’s data. Maintain availability and security with enterprise-class security, up to 14x 9s of durability, 100% availability and 85% less unplanned downtime. Even if you may be able to afford a ransom payment, no one can afford to lose their data and 75% of IT organisations are predicted to face one or more attacks.

Scality allows you to quickly deploy and scale storage to meet unpredictable demands, and get to market with digital projects up to 75% faster.
