Q-Star Partner Ronver Joins Amplidata VAR program:

Amplidata and Ronver Systems today announced that Ronver Systems will sell the AmpliStor Optimized Object Storage system to their customers in Amplidata’s home market, the Benelux. Ronver Systems, who have been selling the file and archive management platform of Amplidata technology partner QStar, want to complete their product portfolio by adding Amplidata’s solution for petabyte-scale Object Storage.

Ronver Systems specializes in Big Data storage solutions for industries with large volumes of media files: Graphics, Broadcasting, Medical, Education and Government. Ronver Systems provide end-to-end storage solutions for and with partners and customers. Ronver Systems’ rich customer base includes NATO, the Belgian Army, the European Commission and Parliament, ESA, VRT, RTL, GrassValley, Fabricom, Belgacom, BASF, Staples, etc.

Amplidata’s AmpliStor is a petabyte-scale Object Storage system for unstructured data
applications. It provides the highest levels of storage durability and availability at the
lowest possible cost. AmpliStor features patent-pending technology that is optimized for
where RAID fails, on multi-terabyte disk drives. The technology enables customers to build active archives that do not require backups and which are highly cost-efficient. By cutting the drive and power requirements by up to 70%, customers can expect up to 90% cost savings over traditional disk storage solutions.

“The amount of data our customers manage increases exponentially and many of those customers are hitting the limits of their RAID infrastructures,” says Joël de Graaf, manager at Ronver Systems. “Rebuild times are too long and during those rebuilds, the data is insufficiently protected. Our customers’ data is at risk! With Amplidata’s technology we can provide them with an effective solution to this problem. We have already done a first round of product introductions and the reactions are very positive.”

“Ronver Systems is a company that started as a small reseller but who have become a reference in the Belgian storage market. They have a solid customer base and many years of experience with innovative storage products. We strongly believe Ronver Systems will succeed in growing our customer base in our home market,” said Wim De Wispelaere, CEO of Amplidata. “Their experience with QStar will give them a headstart in the Active Archives market.”
