Renaissance myON® News, Powered by News-O-Matic vs. Scality ARTESCA

This is something that the kids and I really like utilizing in the classroom. Through the use of the computer, it is possible to effectively engage students in learning that is relevant to the 21st century. It's great that you may utilize both technology and traditional paper methods. In my classroom, I utilize it somewhere about twice each week on average.

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.

Because it demonstrates the kids' levels of understanding after they have read a book, Accelerated Reader is one of my favorite reading programs. On the other hand, I find that myON does a few more things that AR does; it goes above and beyond, and you are truly able to see the progress that your kid has made on a wider scale. This is one of the reasons why I appreciate it so much.

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.
