Go1 vs. Scality ARTESCA

The range of content from other providers, but offered through Go1 is immense. We have used everything from Leadership Training, to Food Prep and it has been great to have it all under one roof. The initial conversations when enquiring about the product were so easy, unpressured and fair. The sales rep was really supportive and listened to our needs alongside supporting our timescales. Since implementation our account manager Emily has been fantastic. She has helped us demonstrate the successful impact of the Go1 implementation, helped us to curate content, improve our data collection and more.

The team in charge of implementing Scality has to be full stack in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the entire system. However, you have to think very carefully about the balance between servers and disks, perhaps adopting smaller fully populated servers instead of large semi-populated servers, which would mean that over time our disk updates will not have a fully useful life.

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.

Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data thief. This is something that can be found with other vendors but at a fraction of the same cost. Having this kind of performance, availability and redundancy at the cost that Scality provides has made a large difference to our organization.

• Changed the way the organization approached training and prepared us to take on the challenges with COVID well before we knew we would need it.

• Keeping sensitive customer data secure is a must for our organization and Scality has great features to make this happen.
• We replaced a single SAN with a Scality ring and found performance to improve as we store more and more customer data.
• Being able to lose various portions of our Scality ring and allow it to continue to service customers while maintaining high performance has been key to our business.
