Bangalore: 3PAR, provider of utility storage, announced that cloud computing market leaders in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) segments have combined the 3PAR InServ Storage Server with VMware vSphere to build agile and efficient cloud infrastructures for their shared, virtualized 'utility' service offerings.
Of the global cloud computing IaaS leaders, 7 of the top 10 deploy 3PAR and VMware for their shared, virtualized service offerings. Among these service providers, several are also 3PAR Cloud-Agile Global Partners, including Attenda, VMwares EMEA and Global Service Provider Partner of the Year for 2010.
"Our cloud computing platform, Attenda RTI, utilizes best-of-breed VMware virtualization technology integrated with a shared virtualized platform of 3PAR storage and Cisco networking, providing rapid scalability for unprecedented business agility," said Simon Hansford, VP Service Strategy and Marketing at Attenda.
With this level of customer satisfaction, 3PAR has seen its platform deployed by numerous SaaS vendors for their cloud-based service offerings. Today, more than 50 percent of the SaaS-based email archiving market uses storage from 3PAR.
The nature of our business requires that our storage infrastructure keep pace with rapid growth by scaling on-the-fly, said Alexander Rusich, Founder and Chairman of the Board at LiveOffice.
