and protect customer data. However, its
detailed market assessment as part of a
strategic system upgrade revealed that
Infinidat would be a suitable replacement
in totality. The technology implemented
would be more than capable of supporting
Core DataCloud’s hosting service today
and into the future.
The decision to invest in an Infinidat
storage array, providing 1PB of capacity,
will deliver the flexibility and agility that
Core DataCloud requires to accommodate
existing growth and allow for future
customer demands. “Market demand for a ‘cloud first’
strategy is gaining momentum,” said
Sharad Saggar, Managing Director
at Core DataCloud. “Our decision to
select Infinidat was not only based on
its compelling commercial proposition
but also the company’s capabilities in
supporting our business growth. This is
to extend the portfolio of hosting services
we offer without incurring any unforeseen
investment costs.”
Key criteria met by Infinidat during the
competitive technical evaluation included
an easy-to-use interface, minimal training
for operational staff, business-critical
reliability, guarantees of seven nines
(99.99999%) availability, and ultra-high
performance and scalability.

Core DataCloud will be extending its
relationship with value added distributor
M2M Enterprise, a long-term partner of
Infinidat, to offer cloud-based services

Eran Brown, EMEA CTO at Infinidat,
added: “The challenge for enterprise
IT organisations and managed service
providers is to exceed service level
objectives while radically lowering the
cost and complexity of storage operations.
Infinidat was designed and built to
manage even the most demanding of
workloads. The fact that Core DataCloud
has chosen to put Infinidat at the heart
of its business is a strong endorsement
of the capabilities, and business benefits,
that our technology can deliver.” ◊
