SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/05/15 — , the leader in object storage for enterprises, today announced its release of Erasure Codes. SwiftStack Erasure Codes give customers flexible options for protecting their data, which lowers overall total cost of ownership (TCO). Now, customers can choose the optimal balance of capacity and data protection based on what best meets their application requirements.
“As data grows exponentially, enterprises need agile storage systems that are easy to manage and tune based on their application requirements,” said Joe Arnold, President and Chief Product Officer of SwiftStack. “Now, with the release of Erasure Codes in the SwiftStack Object Storage System, customers have the choice to select both performance-optimized and capacity-optimized storage tiers in the same cluster, and under a unified namespace. Coupled with the ability to add capacity based on how much they need, when they need it lowers overall TCO while improving data protection.”
