CLOUDEXPO EUROPE, LONDON—Feb. 26, 2014—S3 object storage leader Cloudian today announced a major expansion of its European presence, through a partnership with BCLOUD, Europe’s leading cloud enabler company. BCLOUD has chosen the Cloudian® object storage platform as the basis for all storage offerings, including private, hybrid and public clouds built for both service providers and enterprises. In just 90 days, this new relationship has yielded four new customer deployments throughout Europe, including Savenet Solutions, Asco Tlc and Salvix.
“Enterprise and user information is growing exponentially, as is the need to have access to this information from any device at any time,” said Roberto Castelli, CEO, BCLOUD. “Cloud and object storage is the answer to this need, and Cloudian is the best object storage solution on the market. With its superior S3 compatibility, great economics and massive scale, Cloudian will help our partners implement new services and platforms in public, private and hybrid cloud environments.”
