According to Jochen Berger, Chief Technology Officer at intergenia, “Our goal is to have a fast, reliable and scalable storage solution and Scality’s S3 compatible API provides a great opportunity for us. We believe there is a big market for cloud storage and that European customers are looking for a local provider that offers cloud storage with high SLA’s and great support.” Berger added, “We first met Scality at Webhostingday in Germany this year and selected Scality after examining storage solutions Mezeo, Caringo and others. The experienced management team behind Scality and the opportunity to get a chunk in the fast growing cloud storage market by using existing and widely used interfaces made the decision for Scality easy.”
Serge Dugas, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Scality commented, “Hosting providers want to take a share in the exponentially growing cloud storage market which was created by Amazon S3.

Scality’s technology and pay-as-you-grow pricing model deliver just that, and in addition, our S3-API enables ISP’s and hosting companies to provide services and applications similar to Amazon S3.” About Scality Scality has developed a massively-scalable storage platform providing significantly easier application deployment at a fraction of the cost of traditional storage.
