Scality partners with Comportal to bring private cloud storage software to Central Asia

Partnership helps organizations modernize cybersecurity infrastructures to meet rising global demand 

SAN FRANCISCO and ALMATY, Kazakhstan, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Scality, a global leader in reliable, secure, and sustainable data storage software, has partnered with value-added distributor Comportal to help enterprises in the region modernize IT infrastructures with state-of-the-art private cloud storage solutions focused on cyber resiliency and large-scale data growth.

Comportal will deliver Scality ARTESCA and RING, object storage software that solves organizations' biggest data storage challenges — growth, security and cost — and delivers 100% uptime, ransomware protection and utmost resilience.

Demand for resources within Kazakhstan and the surrounding region are becoming a critical part of the global economy, and the shift has pushed more organizations to build local, sovereign private clouds.

The alliance reinforces a customer-first strategy to developing partner ecosystems that merges expertise — among local VARs, leading hardware suppliers, and backup application vendors — for best-in-class disaster recovery solutions and cloud infrastructure.

Comportal, combined with Scality and its ecosystem of partners, ensures customers are protected against any threat and can comply with local data sovereignty regulations. The joint goal is to ensure customers meet business objectives with a state-of-the-art infrastructure that's future-proof and reliable.

Positioned by Gartner^® as a leader in the Magic Quadrant™ for Distributed File Systems & Object Storage for seven years in a row, Scality's file and object storage solutions help the worldwide channel build effective, secure, and scalable strategies for customers managing unstructured data growth.

Comportal will showcase Scality's object storage solutions used along with Veeam's ransomware protection and backup solutions at an event scheduled for Tuesday, September 19^th in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
