Horizon Data Center Solutions as a 3PAR customer
3PAR CHOSEN FOR NEW PRIVATE CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM OFFERED BY HORIZON DATA CENTER SOLUTIONS
Utility Storage Provider Delivers Flexibility and Efficiency to Power FlexSafe CloudSM
Horizon Data Center Solutions (HDCS) has chosen 3PAR Utility Storage to enable their newly announced FlexSafe CloudSM. Founded in 2008, the up-and-coming datacenter and managed services provider (MSP) chose 3PAR Utility Storage as the foundation for its cloud computing services based on the superior efficiency, agility, and scalability of 3PAR’s highly virtualized InServ® Storage Server platform.
“As a proven virtualized storage leader in the enterprise cloud computing arena, 3PAR Utility Storage was the natural choice for enabling us to hit the ground running as a new contender in a competitive environment,” said Chuck Smith, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President at HDCS. “But what truly sold us was that 3PAR was different from the other storage vendors we had dealt with. They really spoke our language, not just in terms of future scalability, but also in terms of translating dollars into cost per useable gigabyte or terabyte—the same way that we communicate costs to our end-users.”
