parascale_logoMy company went through a long bake-off process this past Summer to select a technology partner for our cloud storage service. What is cloud storage? Basically it is cheap, reliable, tier-2, file-based storage that is accessible via several storage protocols. We ended up selecting Parascale for a couple reasons.

First, Parascale offered a platform that combined software with a commodity hardware storage architecture. We didn’t have to buy a commercial SAN or worry about how to scale a storage platform.

Second, Parascale was very responsive to our feedback. They understood that the needs of a service provider are different than a traditional enterprise. Finally, their pricing structure was very competitive and allowed us to build a workable business model.

Parascale recently released a press release based on an interview with me.
