Somerville invests in Scality RING data storage solution

Somerville has selected Scality to scale its data storage services to meet growing customer demand and modernise data security. 


Scality, an expert in reliable, secure and sustainable data storage software, recently announced that its services had been selected by the IT services provider in Australia, Somerville. 


The solution combines a petabyte-scale stretched RING object storage architecture across three sites in Sydney and Melbourne running on HPE Apollo 4000 data storage servers from Hewlett Packard Enterprise with immutable data protection utilising Veeam backup software over an S3 API. 


This ultra-resilient solution is delivered through the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform to provide Somerville scalable performance with pay-per-use flexibility.


Craig Somerville, CEO and Founder of Somerville IT Services says: “For every MSP holding data on behalf of customers, and even the CIO of an enterprise organisation whose responsibility is to ensure that they protect the organisation’s data, Scality’s immutability features and resilience features are absolutely critical.”


Scality’s immutable object storage extends Veeam’s enterprise-grade capabilities and helps manage unlimited amounts of data with reduced cybersecurity risks and lower costs. 


Since the initial deployment, Somerville has doubled capacity and plans to add more workloads to expand customer offerings.


Other immediate results Somerville experienced include the greater peace of mind thanks to a modern immutable and ransomware-proof system and faster customer onboarding with seamless scalability.


Scality also provides Somerville with a rapid restore system, giving the ability to recover customer data on 19 servers in a single weekend.


For Somerville, Scality RING, combined with Veeam and HPE GreenLake, has substantially boosted its bottom line with a 30 to 40% increase in revenue and a 1/3 decrease in operational costs.
