StorONE Partners with Madison Cloud to Deliver Next Generation On-Premise and Private MultiCloud Storage Services

StorONE today announced that Madison Cloud IT Solutions has chosen its S1 Software Defined Storage to power the solution provider’s on premise and Private MultiCloud Storage platform. This new platform delivers high performance, next generation data protection, unlimited storage scale out and eliminates innovation lock in.

Madison Cloud’s private storage services are built with StorONE’s unified enterprise storage software and enterprise class COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) hardware. The platform offers high availability and industry standard storage protocols. This approach allows applications to run seamlessly in on premises, hybrid and MultiCloud connected deployments.

Controlling where your data lives and maintaining data security are key concerns in adopting Cloud services. Placing private storage directly adjacent to cloud provider data centers provides for very low-latency connections to their compute instances and services. This deployment model delivers on the promise of Cloud while keeping data under an organization’s direct control. Madison Cloud storage services are available on the Equinix Cloud Exchange, enabling high-speed connections to service providers such as AWS, Azure, Google, IBM, Oracle, Government agencies, enterprises and more. Pricing is consumption based for both Cloud connected and on premise storage solutions.

“Our Private MultiCloud Storage (PMCS) platform removes obstacles to Cloud migration and accelerates a wide range of workflows with StorONE’s unique capabilities,” said Randall Van Allen, CEO of Madison Cloud. “Their innovative and ultra-efficient storage software combined with our ability to deploy in a variety of hardware form factors is redefining private, hybrid and MultiCloud architectures.”

StorONE’s patented technology can support multiple enterprise functions and can be used with an all-flash or hybrid array, virtual storage, secondary storage, or cloud storage. StorONE supports all protocols (block, file, and object) in a single software solution that includes enterprise-class data protection and data retention. StorONE’s S1 software eliminates drive selection dependencies typically found in legacy RAID-based storage solutions. Customers can co-mingle and hot swap almost any drive make or model in the same storage server chassis. Volume-level Erasure Coding provides rapid recovery in case of a drive failure, without degrading volume performance. Zero data snapshots and replication capabilities are built in.

“Madison Cloud’s deployment capabilities show that users can achieve high performance with enterprise data protection in any environment,” said Gal Naor, StorONE co-founder and CEO. “By partnering with Madison Cloud, we are able to provide users with full data security and the flexibility of the Cloud. It is yet another example that showcases the best-in-class performance and unlimited possibilities of the StorONE software.”
