As enterprises build their digital businesses around a hybrid and multi-cloud

core architecture, they need greater agility both in connecting, storing, and

efficiently moving data across that core.

"Data is the currency of digital business success. The agility and velocity of

data in motion is key to unlocking its value," said PacketFabric CEO Dave Ward.

"But optimal data mobility across a cloud-based architecture requires two key

ingredients--an agile network and super-positioned data infrastructure. By

integrating RSTOR's storage infrastructure and data mobility technology at the

edge of PacketFabric's carrier-class Network as a Service platform, we can help

enterprises build an agile and high-performance cloud data core."

"RSTOR has built and grown its business around the idea of allowing customers

to control their data as they transition from on-premises to hybrid and then

multi-cloud architectures," said RSTOR Founder and CEO Giovanni Coglitore.

"PacketFabric's on-demand, low-latency network has been a foundational element

in our solution, allowing RSTOR the agility and cost-efficiency in moving data

into, out of, and between clouds. The complete integration between our data

mobility cloud and PacketFabric's network platform is the logical step in our

journey to maximize the value that our customers are already enjoying."

PacketFabric's Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform orchestrates on-demand

connectivity across colocation facilities, cloud providers, and private network

interconnection across the globe. PacketFabric's agile connectivity empowers

enterprises to move at the speed of the cloud, digitally transform their

business, and deliver superior digital experiences.

Combining the PacketFabric NaaS platform with RSTOR's storage and data mobility

services creates a compelling offering for enterprises, and for global channel

and technology partners.

"When designing a hybrid multi-cloud IT architecture for the business, network

connectivity is a strategic consideration because low latency access to digital

infrastructure is essential to application performance and user experience,"

said Mel Melara, Vice-President of Sales and Head of Data Center Practice at

leading IT Strategy firm Bridgepointe Technologies. "PacketFabric and RSTOR

were already key Bridgepointe suppliers, helping us deliver intelligent and

adaptive cloud infrastructure to enterprises. We're excited to see even greater

value for our customers as the two solutions integrate as one."

"We are excited to see PacketFabric with its Network-as-a-Service capabilities

being offered with RSTOR's innovative storage and data mobility services. The

combination of these integrated solutions will be extremely attractive in the

APAC region and beyond," said Nobuhiro Suemasa, CEO at Tokyo-based firm TwoFive

Inc. "We have been delighted to see an expansion of the number of points of

presence in Japan – now we can expect further extension of this high-value

package of services throughout the region which will deliver significant

benefits for customers."
