Formation will also exhibit within the Dell Solutions Showcase at Dell World 2015, offering demonstrations of its flagship FormationOne storage platform to attendees. The FormationOne platform launched this past August and combines the agility, flexibility and simplicity of public cloud with the control and security of private datacenter storage, while at the same time doing something that gives back to communities in need. FormationOne offers the ideal combination of private cloud control and public cloud scale to transform enterprise infrastructure and solve the challenges faced by businesses today.
In conjunction with OxFam America, the company will also continue its successful “See-a-Demo-Get-a-Goat” campaign while at Dell World, which since August 2015 has seen over 40 technology enthusiasts donate a goat to families in impoverished countries to help fight hunger and poverty.
