Gigas, a cloud-hosting provider in Spain and Latin America, recently deployed SolidFire’s all-flash scale-out platform in its Madrid and Miami data centers.
Based in Boulder, Colorado, SolidFire offers all-flash storage systems built for the next generation data center.
“SolidFire has enabled the long-term growth of Gigas by providing a more cost-effective delivery of our existing cloud solutions, along with the ability to design and deliver a new set of shared services from our cloud data centers,” Gigas CEO and co-founder Diego Cabezudo said. “To help companies in Spain and Latin America truly capitalize on the performance, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the cloud, we knew an all-flash system was a must.”
SolidFire’s storage system makes use of REST-based API, which allows for complete integration with Gigas’ core system as well as automation of every aspect of storage provisioning, monitoring, management and reporting.
“The rapidly growing cloud market in Latin America is a huge opportunity for Gigas,” SolidFire’s VP of International Tim Pitcher said. “Gigas’ customers can move business-critical applications to the cloud, while accelerating the value cloud infrastructure offers in a more agile and cost-effective way than ever before. This is a critical advantage in the burgeoning, competitive market in Latin America.”
