“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

Com Hem switched to Scality RING to keep their growing VoD business competitive

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..

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.
