Hello, I'm Michael Orkin.
It's my pleasure to welcome you
to the Forward Together series
that highlights our showcase HPE complete partner solutions.
In this meet-the-executive video,
we're highlighting Hewlett Packard Enterprises partnership
with Scality, a leading innovator
in the object storage market.
HP and Scality are announcing a portfolio of solutions
that will reshape the way organizations
develop cloud-native apps.
We have with us today Chris Powers,
VP and GM Collaborative Platforms and Big Data from HPE
and Jerome Lecat, CEO of Scality
to talk about the big announcement
and how it marks HPE and Scality as thought leaders
in the industry.
Take it away, Chris.
Thanks, Michael.
It's an exciting time as digital transformation explodes
in the marketplace
and as we pivot our approach to data.
Organizations have begun to utilize cloud-native tools
to develop and deploy a new generation of applications
that give them the speed and agility their businesses need.
These new applications allow them to mine their data
for insight and business value.
HP and Scality have long been partners
in the object storage space.
And as you will hear,
object storage is key for these new applications.
And now I'm happy to turn this over
to Jerome, who I know shares in my excitement
at being able to announce this new portfolio.
Jerome.
Thanks, Chris.
I'm super excited.
Thank you for inviting me here.
Together with HP, we're laser-focused
on solving the greatest data challenges
for our customers across the globe.
We are building sustainable storage infrastructures
that adapt as rapidly as technology changes.
Chris, as you mentioned,
we see the emergence of new workloads
in AI, machine learning, big data analytics,
in memory databases, and also new applications at the edge.
These applications need faster access
to massive amount of data.
That data is created everywhere.
In the cloud, at the edge, and on prem.
We are now in an app-centric world.
A fresh approach to data delivery is essential.
One that is application-centric
rather than location or technology-centric.
Customers are going cloud-native.
And this represents a fundamental inflection point
in the way infrastructure is managed,
specifically for the underlying data.
Cloud-native demands adaptability, portability,
and efficiency.
Attributes that traditional storage solutions
struggled too much.
(upbeat music)
That indeed is a struggle which prompted us
to expand our partnership with Scality
to address the spectrum
of cloud-native application development challenges
from pilot projects to enterprise production environments.
For years, object storage has been solution best suited
for secondary workloads.
For instance,
backup or archival use cases.
However, the object storage that old is no longer sufficient
to support this new generation
of data intensive apps.
A new approach is needed.
Organization shouldn't have
to really care about the underlying infrastructure anymore.
It should be easily deployed and provisioned automatically.
Data needs to be portable across multiple clouds,
accessed quickly, and processed wherever it lives,
whether in the cloud, in a data center,
or at the edge.
As you mentioned Jerome,
it should be managed in an application-centric way,
not solely based on location.
This is how HPE and Scality will partner
to enable data-intensive, cloud-native applications
to get fast access to object storage
that is built on NVMe.
The modern object storage is here.
(upbeat music)
Indeed, Chris.
Modern object storage is optimal for cloud-native
whether in the data center or at the edge.
When you use this persistent data store
for today's modern applications,
object storage offers the right balance of speed,
scale, and portability that applications need.
So, this brings us to our announcement.
Today, we are announcing our next generation
of object storage with Scality Artesca.
Artesca redefines object storage
for the new cloud-native era.
Artesca is an intuitive, lightweight,
modern, and cloud-native object store.
Artesca provides both small footprint at the edge
and scale for the data center.
Artesca is unique,
with built-in multi-cloud data management
from a single global console.
And of course, given Scality's experience
supporting mission critical workloads,
Artesca includes the data availability
and durability enterprises expect.
Artesca is built on a 10 plus years of experience
supporting the world's largest organization
and understanding their need to meet the demands
of the 21st century.
Scality is proud to partner with HP
to make this leap forward possible for our joint customers.
And we're confident that this is just a new beginning
for truly transformative collaboration.
(upbeat music)
Yes, Jerome, it is truly a transformative collaboration.
What we're announcing together today
enables a major step forward for our customers.
Simply put the new HPE solutions
for Scality Artesca portfolio,
co-designed by HPE and Scality,
provides customers a new application-first,
developer-first, and cloud-first object storage platform.
From which to successfully deploy the emerging breed
of cloud-native analytics and in-memory applications.
Customers will now have seamless portability of their data.
Thanks to federated data management
across their S3 compatible object store landscape
from edge to cloud and the ability
to deploy the same enterprise-grade,
intuitive to manage, object store
from their core data centers outage systems.
They can do so on the very latest infrastructure
for the optimal mix of performance, capacity, and economics.
What's more, customers can get aaS' service cloud economics
and a managed services experience
on premises through HPE GreenLake.

And now, I'm going to turn it over to Michael.
Thank you, Chris.
So that's just a taste of what we'll be rolling out
in the days and weeks to come.
In our first episode of Forward Together with Scality,
we'll dive into the capabilities of the portfolio
and show you just how powerful, flexible,
and economical your cloud-native object storage
solutions can be.
Till then, I'm Michael Orkin.
Thanks for watching.
