We are proud to partner with world-class technology solution providers like Dell EMC and look forward to creating new opportunities for the channel." Supporting Modern Workloads with Software Composable Infrastructure Modern workloads, such as Hadoop, NoSQL databases and other big data technologies, are dynamic and unpredictable, with data growing exponentially as enterprises find new ways to mine this information for business value. This has resulted in IT administrators struggling to correctly size physical infrastructure for each application or respond to changing workloads that are experiencing a spike in demand. DriveScale's unique SCI solution provides organizations with a next-generation data center architecture that treats hardware infrastructure as code -- delivering significant gains in efficiency and agility while lowering both equipment and operating costs. DriveScale's SCI solution allows data center administrators to disaggregate their infrastructure into separate pools of compute and storage resources, and quickly compose and re-compose them to meet the specific needs of a workload. IT teams can achieve higher utilization levels, reduce over-provisioning and respond much more quickly to changing business requirements. The DriveScale System does not require any changes to an existing application stack and delivers equivalent performance to a bare metal server with internal storage. Expanded Partnership with New Reseller Agreement Extends SCI to Dell EMC Customer Base Earlier this year, DriveScale joined the Dell EMC Tech Connect Program and was certified on Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers, Ethernet Switches and Direct Attached Storage.

DriveScale Named a Vendor to Watch by Enterprise Management Associates for Its Private Cloud Infrastructure Provisioning and Management Solution

Recognition Validates DriveScale's Approach to Helping Data Center Managers Build a Secure Private Cloud, with the Flexibility, Lower Cost and Efficiency of the Public Cloud SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2017) - #DriveScale, the company that is pioneering flexible, scale-out computing for the enterprise using standard servers and commodity storage, today announced that it has been named a Vendor to Watch by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading industry analyst firm that provides deep insight across the full spectrum of IT and data management technologies. Vendors to Watch are companies that tackle previously unaddressed problems in order to produce unique customer value. This recognition underscores the company's commitment to delivering the elastic quality of the public cloud with the security, performance and control of an on-premises fix within the data center. With the rising popularity of server virtualization, traditional approaches such as proprietary hardware and software of SAN-based storage systems are too complicated for IT administrators to manage. To meet scaling needs for changing data center environments, enterprises are forced to use commodity servers with storage directly attached -- limiting storage capacity and eliminating flexibility in instances where enterprises need to add more storage or compute to their infrastructure on the fly. "There is a very clear need in the market for a solution that enables enterprises to efficiently deploy a scale-out infrastructure to meet demands of a changing digital landscape," said Jim Miller, computer storage and hyper-converged industry analyst at EMA. "DriveScale is the first to offer a distinct solution that delivers all of the cost and simplicity advantages of commodity servers, with the independence and scalability of SAN storage. In decoupling storage and compute, DriveScale enables each to scale independently from one another, without under or over provisioning either resource." EMA has named DriveScale a Vendor to Watch for its novel approach that increases flexibility and efficiency -- allowing IT administrators to respond to use needs immediately. By offering a new way for data center managers to control, manage and scale their data center infrastructure, DriveScale allows organizations to respond faster to changing conditions, while also reducing costs. "We are honored to be named an EMA Vendor to Watch. Our team approaches the challenge of developing flexible, scale out architecture for mainstream enterprises from our collective decades of industry experience cultivated during tenures at #Cisco #UCS Systems, Sun Microsystems, Silicon Image and more -- addressing the demonstrable need to effectively scale compute and storage," said Gene Banman, CEO of DriveScale. "This recognition from industry experts at EMA validates our team's dedication to solving the complexity issues present in today's dynamic data center environments." About DriveScale DriveScale is leading the charge in bringing hyperscale computing capabilities to mainstream enterprises. Its composable data center architecture transforms rigid data centers into flexible and responsive scale-out deployments. Using DriveScale, data center administrators can deploy independent pools of commodity compute and storage resources, automatically discover available assets, and combine and recombine these resources as needed. The solution is provided via a set of on-premises and SaaS tools that coordinate between multiple levels of infrastructure. With DriveScale, companies can more easily support Hadoop deployments of any size as well as other modern application workloads. DriveScale is founded by a team with deep roots in IT architecture and that has built enterprise-class systems such as Cisco UCS and Sun UltraSparc. Based in Sunnyvale, California, the company was founded in 2013. Investors include Pelion Venture Partners, Nautilus Venture Partners and Ingrasys, a wholly owned subsidiary of Foxconn.

DriveScale Joins Dell EMC Technology Partner Program

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 9, 2017) - #DriveScale, the company that is pioneering flexible, scale-out computing for the enterprise using standard servers and commodity storage, today announced it has become a certified technology partner in #DellEMC 's Technology #PartnerProgram. By certifying the DriveScale System on Dell EMC #PowerEdge Servers, Ethernet switches and Direct Attached Storage (DAS), customers are able to simplify and optimize data centers targeted at cloud-native or cloud-ready applications with dynamic workloads. Implementing the DriveScale System reduces hardware acquisition costs and provides significant improvement in server and storage utilization -- allowing organizations to implement more big data workloads. Cloud-native infrastructure is designed for distributed scale-out applications such as big data. These modern applications require built-in resiliency and data locality. However, traditional data center infrastructures -- such as DAS on server nodes -- do not permit data center managers to change the ratio of compute to storage on demand. As a certified Dell EMC technology partner, DriveScale now delivers a combined solution that can be easily adopted by organizations that are adjusting to the exponential growth of big data workloads and the limits imposed by using traditional architectures that are not designed for optimal utilization of shared resources and dynamic allocation
