The partnership
Software-defined storage on enterprise-class x86 reliability.
Lenovo Data Center Group and Scality have partnered to deliver hardware and software solutions for the on-premises, scale-out storage market. Scality RING and ARTESCA run on Lenovo ThinkSystem platforms, with the SR650 as the canonical 2U/2-socket configuration for object storage and immutable backup.
Lenovo brings advanced compute, networking and storage technologies; Scality brings the software layer that turns standard x86 into cyber-resilient object storage. Joint promotion runs through Lenovo's xPert Group channel program and through Scality's reseller network.
