San Francisco, CA – July 8, 2020 – Scality and ViON today announced RING8 as a core technology powering two of ViON’s predefined cloud service offerings: Object Storage-as-a-Service (OSaaS) and the long-term Archive-as-a-Service (AaaS). These new cloud services are central components of the ViON Enterprise Cloud (VEC) Infrastructure Services. ViON, a leading cloud service provider, brings over 18 years of experience deploying hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures in the Federal marketplace and currently holds one of the largest contracts ever awarded for storage.
Together with ViON’s extensive U.S. federal market experience and Scality’s unstructured data technology, the joint solution will address storage challenges for some of the largest federal agencies.
Scality Platform Provides Native File and Object (AWS S3 and Azure Blob)
VEC’s OSaaS comes in three classes of service to meet the typical workload demands of customer environments: a single-site storage bucket, a single-site storage bucket with data replication for disaster recovery, and a multi-site storage bucket with data replicated between the two active sites. To support ViON and customer requirements, RING provides comprehensive, native AWS S3 API compatibility to ensure all cloud applications that run on AWS can also run on RING as well as AWS IAM compatible multi-tenancy on top of its core capability of limitless scalability. RING also uniquely supports object storage with a native Azure Blob API to further expand application compatibility.
Archival Service Fueled with RING8
ViON also selected RING8 to power long-term data archiving. Archive as-a-Service (AaaS) gives organizations the ability to retain backed-up data on premises to meet long-term retention needs with either an enterprise-grade, modular tape library or a single-site object storage offering.
