Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Managing data at scale is incredibly complex, but software company Scality solves this problem with its purpose-built storage and data management system. Scality offers companies an all-in-one data management experience, which has proven highly popular with enterprises. The company now boasts the likes of Comcast, Bloomberg and Orange among its customers, which is testament to the value of its product. Increased demand for hybrid and multi-cloud data management has allowed the company to grow at considerable pace.
Following on from a 2021 funding round aimed at R&D and smoothing the company's path to profitability, Scality has increased revenue by 50% and partnered with global software companies such as Computer C-Data and the Malaysian RIXS to bring new products to global markets. This expansion was driven by growing fears surrounding data sovereignty regulations. As governments respond to privacy concerns surrounding cloud adoption, companies are moving away from large cloud servers to a hybrid approach where some data is held locally or regionally. This is good news for Scality and its products as this trend is likely to continue for some time.
