Tiscali Goes Live With Scality RING Powered Cloud Storage Service

One of Italy's leading independent telecommunication companies has gone live with a Storage As A Service offering based on ScalityRING.
Tiscali supplies a wide range of services to its customers, both private individuals and companies: internet access through dial-up and ADSL, as well as voice, VoIP, media, and added-value services and other technologically advanced products.
The "Tiscali Cloud Storage" service comes with a competitive pricing scheme and extreme reliability.
Companies can open an account for an initial 100GB for a promotional 15 Ç/month, including 50 GB of traffic in and 50 TB of traffic out, and no transaction fees. After the first 100GB of data, the service is completely pay-per-use (per GB/month) as data grows.
Scality is the developer of RING, an application centric cloud storage system, enabling emails and cloud storage platforms to easily scale up to exabytes using commodity server hardware with direct attached storage.
CEO of Scality, Jerome Lecat, commented: "Tiscali was one of the trendsetters who were early in committing to our patented organic storage technology, Scality RING, as the backend platform for their customers.
"Tiscali chose Scality for its innovative approach, performance and reliability," said Salvatore Pulvirenti, CIO, Tiscali. "Thanks to Scality's cutting-edge RING storage technology, at Tiscali we already launched a cloud storage service for our customers, complete with personalised clients and web browsers. We plan to focus on attracting more customers and solution providers to deploy secure and compliant cloud solutions using Tiscali Cloud Storage as an object-based storage cloud."
