Scale-up storage

Com Hem AB is a triple-play provider with service to 40% of the homes in Sweden. In 2016, the company had to decide whether to upgrade or replace an existing scale-up storage system. They chose Scality RING for its scalability, data protection options, and lower TCO. Com Hem relies on Scality RING for efficient, always-available content distribution..

“Knowing that if we lost a datacenter we’d be fine is really key. That helps us sleep at night.”

Jacob Morgan Head of Datacenter, Com Hem

A Real Partnership

Com Hem takes service seriously. Smooth performance is a must. This service-focused approach drives Com Hem. After dealing with a major outage in 2016, Com Hem decided to re-evaluate its storage solution.

From its early meetings with Com Hem, Scality demonstrated its technical expertise, knowledge of the service provider industry, and like-minded philosophy. Support for both native file and object interfaces were a key requirement, as Com Hem works with third parties to deliver live streaming video, catch-up TV and video-on-demand services.

No customer wants to deal with an outage or even downtime. Scality RING helps Com Hem keep its promises to its customers with a resilient, reliable storage infrastructure, lower TCO than its previous storage solution, and scalability that will take the company into the future.
