Basho Joins SNIA

Basho Technologies, Inc. has joined the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) and will become a voting member of the Cloud Storage Initiative.

The Cloud Storage Initiative (CSI) represents a collective effort of companies committed to driving the growth and success of the emerging cloud storage market.

The CSI’s role in cloud is focused on the delivery of data storage as a service in private, hybrid, and public scopes. The initiative promotes awareness of cloud storage through education efforts for the vendor and user communities. The group is also helping to bring specifications and technical developments to international standards development organizations.

"We are excited to have Basho join SNIA and our Cloud Storage Initiative," said Wayne M. Adams, Chairman of SNIA’s board of directors. "Basho’s focus on low-latency, high-performance database technology for Web and mobile applications will provide an excellent addition to our growing list of SNIA member companies. We look forward to Basho’s contributions to advance SNIA cloud standards, best practices and education for the global cloud storage community."

"Basho is pleased to participate in SNIA and the Cloud Storage Initiative," said Justin Sheehy, chief technology officer at Basho. "Basho understands the value of SNIA’s mission to promote confidence in new storage architectures through education. Since our founding, we have worked to build systems that provide both the performance and availability that today’s most demanding businesses need. We look forward to working with SNIA to illuminate the benefits of nontraditional databases in such environments, especially given the dramatic changes occurring in today’s market. We hope that this work with SNIA can positively affect the enterprise IT community."
