IDC technical paper: Find out why our customers love HPE Scalable Object Storage with Scality RING

Don't ask us. Listen to our customers: Weโ€™re sharing a recent IDC technical paper based on customer interviews looking for insights on the business value of HPE Scalable Object Storage with Scality RING.

HPE Object Storage Scality RING_IDC_blog.jpgOne piece of feedback that I often receive from customers is that most technology vendors focus primarily on product or solution features and technologyโ€”and pay very little attention to solving customer challenges. I always believe discussions with you, the customer, should focus on understanding the challenges you face and how our offerings can help solve these problems. So I ask. . .

Why do you deploy HPE Scalable Object Storage with Scality RING?

What differentiates our solution as compared to the rest of the vendors in the industry? Most vendors promote their object storage solution as the โ€œcost effectiveโ€ and the โ€œbestโ€ storage solution available. This can add to the overall confusion as you look to select the right partner to protect your data.

In this blog, I focus on the business value of HPE Scalable Object Storage with Scality RING. My particular point of view is from our customersโ€™ perspective, which is central to a recent IDC technical paper.

IDC interviewed IT professionals at organizations that have moved key workloads to HPE Scalable Object Storage with Scality RING.  What did IDC learn? The interviews revealed that these organizations leverage the combined HPE-Scality object storage solution to build and grow their storage cost effectively to meet data-intensive workload demands. The study represents a good mix of companies by both geographical location (U.S. and EMEA) and vertical markets, including communications/media, public sector/transportation, service providers, technology and telecommunications.

The fact that customers shared their experiences after deploying our object storage solution gives much credence to what we have been saying about our technology. Let me share some of the highlights from the IDC technical paper.
