DriveScale, the leader in delivering Software-Defined Infrastructure (SDI) for modern workloads, today announced a new partnership with
World Wide Technology (WWT), a market-leading technology solution provider
, to
market and sell DriveScale's unique SDI solution for managing the
dynamic compute and storage needs of their customers'
business. DriveScale supports modern workloads such as Hadoop, Spark,
Kafka, Cassandra and NoSQL of any size, at any scale, for a fraction of
the cost.
WWT and DriveScale share a common vision of transforming
customers' IT infrastructures to better support their business
initiatives and deliver on the promise of simplicity, agility,
automation and cost efficiencies in modern cloud computing. As a result
of its technological innovations in SDI, WWT has chosen to add
DriveScale to its select list of IT partners. Through this strategic
partnership, WWT will include DriveScale's proven solution in its
testing and implementation lineup. This partnership helps DriveScale
expand its global reach and provide WWT customers with powerful
scale-out solutions for the data center.
"Hadoop solutions are becoming more pervasive in data
processing workflows," said Brian Vaughan, big data practice lead and
principal consultant at WWT. "As enterprise customers mature in their
Hadoop operations, IT organizations are looking for solutions that
enable them to add compute and storage resources separately. Many of our
customers have requirements to drive down cost and increase business
value. To meet these requirements, organizations have adopted processes
that require platforms to be elastic and highly productive. DriveScale's
Software-Defined Infrastructure enables our customer to do this."
"DriveScale is excited to partner with WWT, one of the
largest and most respected technology solution providers," said Gene
Banman, CEO at DriveScale. "WWT understands the needs of big data
operators and will do a fantastic job of integrating our
Software-Defined Infrastructure solution into their environment."
