Cloudian touts record year as latest object storage release explores multi-cloud

Storage provider Cloudian says it has achieved record growth for the third year in a row, with revenues up in every geographic segment and particular expansion in Europe. The company’s results ‘point to the exploding need for scale-out storage solutions in an era when artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, high-resolution video and other data-intensive applications require businesses to manage data that is growing at an unprecedented rate’, in Cloudian’s own words. Cloudian offers petabyte-scalable object and file storage, with its primary products, HyperStore and HyperFile, being based on object storage and enterprise network attached storage (NAS) file services respectively. Last month, the company issued its most recent update to HyperStore, the most interesting feature being around multi-cloud capability.
