AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS — (Marketwired) — 11/19/13 — , the leader in all-flash storage systems for the next generation data center, and , the leading independent global CloudStack integrator, have aligned to build a reference architecture to demonstrate how customers can address the operational challenges encountered when deploying block storage in a multi-tenant cloud infrastructure. The demo will be on display in the ShapeBlue booth at the CloudStack Collaboration Conference this week in Amsterdam. Visitors to the booth will see a demonstration of the performance, scalability and efficiency benefits to be realized from combining with SolidFire-s scale-out block storage system.
In addition to collaborating on the CloudStack demo environment, ShapeBlue has joined SolidFire-s . The Cloud Builders Program invests in the success of systems integrators like ShapeBlue that are tackling their customers- most strategic storage and cloud infrastructure projects.
“When it comes to the design and implementation of CloudStack infrastructure, ShapeBlue is an industry leader,” said Dave Cahill, Director of Strategic Alliance, SolidFire. “ShapeBlue-s expertise is integral to helping our customers realize the performance, automation and efficiency benefits that are now possible with CloudStack 4.2 and SolidFire.”
“When deploying their CloudStack infrastructures, our customers continually struggle with storage,” said Giles Sirett, CEO, ShapeBlue. “Legacy storage wasn-t designed to address the quality-of-service, efficiency and scale demands of cloud design. SolidFire was purpose-built for this use case. Moreover, through the storage plug-in integration customers can provision SolidFire natively from within CloudStack. We are excited to demonstrate how customers can take advantage of this functionality to dramatically enhance the capabilities of their cloud infrastructures and increase operational efficiencies.”
