Scality customers trust us to manage their most mission-critical data. Our technology vision has stood the test of time with over a decade of use and scrutiny. Building a cloud-like infrastructure in an on-prem environment requires the most reliable, secure solutions. It demands flawless performance at the scale of Amazon, Google Cloud and Azure while keeping data accessible and protected at all times. Security risks today are real — and on the rise. Scality keeps data safe and helps withstand potential attacks. This includes comprehensive protection with secure authentication, access control policies and data encryption. To defend against threats, RING also implements a multi-tenancy security model for object storage. Built on the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) model, it makes the experience of managing RING totally familiar to users of the AWS cloud. Customers have also come to rely on our extensive and solid partnerships with both solutions and strategic platform partners. On the solutions side, Weka, Veeam, Ctera and Splunk provide the highest levels of performance, security and data intelligence (check out our complete list of ISV partners). Scality’s hardware partners — HPE, Supermicro, Cisco, Western Digital, Lenovo, Gigabytes and Dell EMC — have validated our joint solutions in their most high-profile customer accounts. Resiliency Transforming IT to withstand any challenge The definition of resilience implies toughness and determination regardless of the challenge. It’s also soft and elastic, easily springing back to shape if challenged. Customers in Gartner Peer Insights define Scality as resilient. Why? Because they’re able to bounce back no matter what occurs. Scality’s data durability, availability and integrity keep data centers and customers resilient against anything that comes their way. The RING was engineered to protect data in both expected and unexpected circumstances — and it does so at the highest possible level (up to an incredible 14 nines of durability). The RING’s underlying erasure coding, data replication and self-healing capabilities after disk or server failures, as well as its advanced geo-distribution capabilities, keep data available even during data center (site) failures. Scality mitigates the impact of unforeseen events by ensuring business continuity of the data infrastructure, thereby making the challenging task of disaster recovery that much easier. As our customers undergo digital transformation, the RING enables them to remain resilient in the face of any challenge. Scality’s leadership translates into business wins for IT pros As we head into the final stretch of 2020, there is uncertainty about what lies ahead. But there are two things we know for sure: your business relies on your data’s integrity and our commitment to customers is unwavering. That’s why Scality makes such a great partner — we are here to protect and to harness your most valuable asset. Now with a five-time recognition from Gartner, we see this as validation of what we deliver to customers every day, without fail: software that unifies and protects their data and technology that supports their own business success as agile, stable and resilient IT leaders.
