DriveScale Honored with 2018 Best in Biz Award for Most Innovative Company of the Year

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DriveScale, the leader in delivering Composable Infrastructure for data-intensive workloads and a 2018 Cool Vendor by Gartner for Cloud Infrastructure, has been named a silver winner by the Best in Biz Awards in the "Most Innovative Company of the Year" category. This year's judges recognized DriveScale for their continued work creating agile infrastructure for data-intensive applications with its DriveScale Composable Platform.

"We're honored to be named a most innovative company by Best in Biz. This recognition is an outstanding testament to the hard work our team has invested in developing a solution that solves some of the biggest challenges in data center infrastructure, and to the support from our expanding ecosystem of customers and partners," said Gene Banman, CEO at DriveScale. "We look forward to continuing our upward trajectory as a company and bringing the benefits of Composable Infrastructure to more cloud and enterprise organizations."

The DriveScale Composable Platform is designed to dynamically create server infrastructure on the fly from heterogeneous compute and storage resources by flexibly composing them together with software intelligence based on application needs. Performance is equivalent to direct attached storage (DAS) and no changes are required to the application stack. This empowers mainstream enterprises to easily and instantly provision and modify data center infrastructure to match changing application workloads.

This recognition from the Best in Biz Awards comes on the heels of a banner year for DriveScales product advancements and company growth. Some of the company's achievements this year include:

• Launch of its Composable Infrastructure solution for flash: The first solution of its kind, this technology helps solve the over-provisioning, flexibility and lifecycle management issues that plague IT teams using flash-based NoSQL databases and container-based applications.
• Expansion in APAC and EMEA: DriveScale opened its first European office and a regional office in Japan, as the company's engagements outside the U.S. grow.
