New Cloud Architecture Improves Performance 4x and Halves Costs

摘要

Axcient announced September 11 the launch of its "next-generation cloud storage platform", which is claimed to deliver a dramatic improvement in reliability and speed while yielding an equally dramatic reduction in cost. With one petabyte of data already deployed on the new platform, Axcient says it has achieved a 4x increase in performance and an associated increase in the speed of syncing customers' data to the cloud. The new architecture is also said to be far more efficient, consuming 66 percent less power and taking up half the data center footprint. The savings achieved in the new solution are being passed on to customers, with Axcient announcing new pricing that starts as low as $49 per month per server - a nearly 50 percent reduction over the previous entry-level rate.
