The company is collaborating with SwiftStack to help customers leverage low-cost, highly scalable object storage.
Avere Systems has announced support for SwiftStack, a leader in a new breed of object storage for the enterprise. This collaboration allows organizations to benefit from the high-performance file system capabilities of Avere with the low-cost, highly scalable on-premises object storage provided by SwiftStack. As a result, organizations no longer have to face a trade-off between cost-saving object storage and NAS functionality.
"OpenStack Swift is the engine that powers many of the world's largest public cloud object storage offerings, and it is exciting for the OpenStack community to work with cloud storage technology leaders like Avere," said John Dickinson, project technical lead for OpenStack Swift. "The results from this collaboration not only increase and accelerate access to public cloud, it also benefits organizations building private clouds using OpenStack."
