HostingSolutions.it Deploys Scality

Scality, Inc. announced that
Italian webhosting provider HostingSolutions.it has launched a geo-redundant public
cloud storage offering powered by Scality’s RING Organic
Storage technology.

Based in Florence,
HostingSolutions.it is a top 10 Italian webhosting provider and the main branch
of the group Genesys Informatica
Srl. After evaluation of various technology options,
HostingSolutions.it decided to implement Scality’s RING Organic Storage
software to support the delivery of a cloud
service targeting enterprises of all sizes.

"We chose RING Organic Storage because it is
architected to scale indefinitely without encountering any problems with
performance or capacity," said Luigi Corbacella, President of
HostingSolutions.it. "RING Organic
Storage reduces our storage and maintenance overheads and eliminates downtime,
which means we can use the platform to provide a better service to our
customers and save money on the bottom line."

Scality’s
presence in Europe has expanded
over the last two years. Today the VC-backed cloud storage software specialist
leads the webhosting market in Italy,
where four of the top ten webhosting providers have deployed and launched cloud
storage services based on RING Organic Storage.

HostingSolutions.it
plans to add more cloud services to its RING as the company continues enticing
B2B customers, independent users, and solution providers to use
HostingSolutions.it as the secure, compliant, Italian-based storage cloud for
their customers.

Jérôme
Lecat, CEO of Scality, said: "Initially
some service providers wanted to deploy a cloud‚ service as soon as possible
to keep up with the hype, but today we are witnessing a new era of cloud
computing where the more mature players appeal to enterprise customers by
emphasising security, performance and reliability. This shift in thinking
confirms our earlier prediction that with the incredible growth of cloud
storage demand, performance would become a key differentiator among technology
providers."

He added:
"Scality is proud to bring new value
to the technology market with our patented RING Organic Storage system, which
translates into massively reduced overheads, uninterrupted service
availability, and the freedom to incorporate the most cost-effective hardware
available all with zero downtime."
