Amplidata Named a Leader in IDC MarketScape for Object-Based Scale-Out Storage
Milpitas, CA and Lochristi, Belgium (PRWEB) November 13, 2013 -- Amplidata, an innovator in object-based software-defined storage, announced that the company has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Object-Based Storage 2013 Vendor Assessment, doc #244081, October 2013.
IDC assessed the most notable object-based storage (OBS) vendors and ranked them on their ability to deliver leadership scale-out storage solutions today and in the future. Object-based storage solutions are ideally suited for organizations with large amounts of unstructured data that are trying to balance scale, complexity, and cost. At its core, object-based storage is designed to deliver unprecedented scale and reduced complexity and cost compared to traditional storage systems.
The dramatic shift in the how data is generated, consumed and stored today requires new levels of scale and efficiency that traditional file and block RAID-based systems can’t achieve. According to IDC1, object-based storage adoption is occurring at a much faster pace than traditional file and/or block systems.
A “true” object-based software defined storage platform is fully abstracted from the underlying hardware to enable the highest levels of data durability, scalability and efficiency. IDC notes the AmpliStor® solution has an intelligent multithreaded grid architecture that can scale capacity and performance independently, easily transition from single-site to multi-site without touching the data, change data protection levels on-the-fly without moving the data, and the ease of system integration and management for enterprise, private cloud, and hyperscale public cloud implementations. Amplidata offers a flexible delivery model to meet customer needs that includes appliance and software only options, both running on commercial-off-the-shelf hardware.
