Scality Zenko CloudServer Certified for ownCloud Server

Scality, Inc. announced that ownCloud GmbH has tested and certified its Zenko CloudServer for use with ownCloud.

An Amazon S3-compatible object storage server that lets build and integrate apps faster and store data anywhere, Zenko CloudServer compatibility with ownCloud Server means that Scality RING software-defined storage, and other applications that use the Zenko CloudServer API, can serve as certified storage back-ends for ownCloud.

ownCloud certified Zenko CloudServer for object and file-based storage in conjunction with ownCloud Server (version 10.0.9 or newer).

“We’re pleased to have completed this certification process so that we can now provide our joint Scality/ownCloud customers with support that we can stand behind to meet our customers’ SLA’s,” said Felix Böhm, CTO, ownCloud. “This certification is inherited by all Scality products that leverage its open source CloudServer API, including Scality RING software-defined storage.“

The core of Zenko, Scality S3 Server is Zenko CloudServer, a key component of Scality’s open-source multi-cloud data controller. With Zenko CloudServer, developers gain a single unifying API and access layer for data wherever it’s stored: on-premises or in the public cloud with AWS S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage and others (Google Cloud Storage coming soon).  Zenko CloudServer enables on-premises S3-based application development and data deployment choice, providing a single S3 API set and 360° access to any cloud.

Software-defined RING meets the challenges of growing, petabyte-scale storage for enterprises around the globe. It turns any standard x86 servers into web-scale storage, storing data without limits, with efficiency and reliability, guaranteed-all while reducing costs by as much as 90% over legacy systems. Deployed by more than 200PB-scale customers around the world, RING features native file protocols and high-fidelity S3 API, data encryption, volume and bucket data protection, data-restorative versioning, extended location control for data sovereignty, and geo-replication for DR for customers requiring ironclad data protection.
