San Francisco, CA – January, 22, 2020 – Scality, leader in software solutions for global data today announced that 2019 brought the company record growth from both customer expansions and “new logo” customers that selected Scality RING Software-Defined Storage for its proven track record of keeping data intact and always available by offering the highest levels of durability for their customers’ exabytes of data.
In 2019, as the company celebrated its 10th birthday, Scality expanded its install base with more than 50 new enterprise customers from around the world, across a broad range of industries and use-cases. Existing customers, the largest of which stores more than one hundred petabytes of data on Scality RING, grew their storage footprints as well, adding new use cases and workloads and accommodating data growth on existing workloads.
“Now in our 11th year, we’re really proud to be able to say that eight of our ten first customer deployments are still in production and continue to invest in the Scality platform,” said Jerome Lecat, Scality’s CEO and one of the company’s founders. “Based on the technology’s impressive longevity and customer loyalty—not just maintaining, but expanding—it’s clear that Scality RING is a storage solution for the long-term; on a trajectory to average at least a 20-year lifespan after deployment. That’s a solid investment.”
