Vietnamese Telco Viettel Chooses Cloudian HyperStore

Viettel-CHT Ltd. Co. (Viettel IDC), a telecommunications company in Vietnam, has deployed Cloudian’s HyperStore object storage as the foundation for its storage service offerings, including Storage-as-a-Service, Backup-as-a-Service and DR-as-a-Service.

These services will bring the benefits of HyperStore’s public cloud-like flexibility, limitless scalability and fully native S3 compatibility to Viettel’s internal and external customers, along with protection vs. ransomware attacks.

Viettel IDC’s cloud and data center services group previously used another object storage solution but found that it did not provide the flexibility and full set of features its customers needed. At the recommendation of CSC Vietnam Co., Ltd., a VAD, Viettel IDC evaluated Cloudian as an alternative solution.

“We found the Cloudian platform to be extremely robust, with an extensive feature set,” said Kien Dang, service owner for cloud storage service, Viettel IDC. “We particularly liked HyperStore’s multi-tenancy and quality-of-service features, the ability to set different access privileges and its Object Lock ransomware protection.“

Object Lock enables users to create an immutable backup copy, preventing cybercriminals from encrypting or deleting the data. In the event of a ransomware attack, organizations can recover the unencrypted backup without paying ransom.

“Another benefit of HyperStore is its integration with VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, allowing us to provide persistent storage for cloud-native applications running on-premises or in hybrid cloud environments,” said Le Xuan Que, CTO, Viettel IDC.

Viettel IDC has deployed 2PB of HyperStore and will add more capacity as its needs grow.
