Cloudian HyperStore vs. Scality ARTESCA

I think the strong suite here is backup and recovery of data, very fast recovery times which are essential in any environment. Smaller companies who have limited budget and may not reap the tangible benefits due to smaller IT departments. Learning curve is required and with a small staff, many companies do not have the luxury of having to learn a more complex product.

When high availability and keeping sensitive information safe are top priority Scality is a great option and has good features that make it ideal for these type of applications. For small companies with limited resources to administer extensive systems Scality would not be a good match. It takes people dedicated to this platform to keep it functioning at its best.

As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

I have seen Scality in the office meeting with our VP and get the feeling that they are here to support us.

At the end of the day, it's about return on investment with products, ease of use in the environment, support of the product. Many of these products are very good and do exactly what they say they can do, but in today's times, companies are very strict with budgetary dollars and want the most bang for the buck. HyperStore was proven thru demonstrations that it was a cohesive fit, but again it comes down to cost.

In reality, it did not become a substitute for AWS, since it allowed us to maintain a much more compact and rigid system by taking advantage of the support and evolutionary trend that Scality has and keeping AWS as a leader.
