Scality, a global leader in reliable, secure and sustainable data storage software, has partnered with Colombo-based value-added distributor Plexus to deliver cyber-resilient, scalable storage solutions to enterprises across Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Singapore and India. 
With Scality ARTESCA and RING, Scality helps Plexus capture market demand for effective strategies to defend against ransomware risk and manage unprecedented growth in data volumes.


Plexus is slated to showcase Scality’s object storage solutions at the Plexus Inspire 2023 event scheduled for August 24 in Colombo.
International Data Corporation (IDC) expects that unstructured data will account for 80-90 percent of enterprise data by 2025. The basic architecture of object storage is designed to enable the scalability and simplicity that this explosion of unstructured data demands. 


Positioned by Gartner as a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object Storage for seven years in a row, Scality’s file and object storage solutions, ARTESCA and RING, help the channel build effective, secure and scalable strategies for their customers that manage the growth in unstructured data. 
A leading value-added distributor in the region, Plexus provides transformative IT solutions and services to elevate customer business to the next level. The company is known for its unparalleled business support across the technology supply chain.


Scality Regional Director Marie-Laure Retureau said, “We are delighted to partner with Plexus to bring state-of-the-art storage solutions to end users across some of the fastest growing markets in South Asia. With a sizable footprint in the region, deep knowledge of the IT storage market and partnerships with HPE, Veeam and Commvault, Plexus shares our commitment to deploying cost-effective and flexible solutions that deliver on performance, scalability and security.”


Plexus CEO Damitha Haegoda said, “Our partnership with Scality will help us meet customer demand for cost-effective storage systems, particularly where object storage can help them to stay ahead of ever-expanding data volumes. In the face of growing ransomware threats, the immutability and cyber resiliency built into Scality’s products will protect data as part of a 3-2-1-1-0 modern data backup strategy.”
