EVault,
Inc., a Seagate Company (NASDAQ:STX), today announced it is joining the
OpenStack community, a global community of technologists, developers,
researchers, corporations and cloud computing experts delivering a
massively scalable cloud operating system. EVault will be both
contributing to ongoing OpenStack development, and working to add
OpenStack support to its cloud storage services.
EVault provides onsite, cloud and cloud-connected data
protection solutions to help organizations protect distributed
environments, supported by a secure, reliable cloud storage
infrastructure and backed by the highest quality customer service.
EVault has been a leader in the industry’s move to hybrid storage
models, with a uniquely integrated ecosystem of EVault storage software,
SaaS, managed services and appliances that help ensure customers
maintain business continuity.
“EVault is proud to have been a key contributor to cloud business
adoption, having first introduced cloud
backup solutions 15 years ago. EVault is joining the OpenStack
community of software developers collaborating on this scalable open
source cloud management platform,” said George Hoenig, vice president,
Open Storage, EVault. “EVault’s parent company, Seagate,
announced its commitment to working with the Open Source community on
cloud-optimized hardware and software systems. EVault plans to build
upon OpenStack, and to work closely with Seagate to design and deliver
reliable, cost-effective, and simple to use cloud storage services.”
EVault intends to focus its contributions around OpenStack Swift. Swift
is a highly available, distributed object store that organizations can
use to store large amounts of data efficiently, safely, and
inexpensively. “Swift's fully distributed architecture allows for
extreme scalability. Its redundant and self-healing properties provide
for enterprise class durability while simultaneously keeping storage
management costs to a minimum,” Hoenig added.
