Sohonet and RStor Partner to Offer Cloud Storage that Mitigates the Impact of Data Gravity on Production Workflows
AMSTERDAM, 12 Sept. 2019 –Sohonet, the global experts in connectivity, media services and network security for the media and entertainment industry, has introduced Filestore+, a new low-cost alternative for DR, short-term project parking and “cloud-first” workflows. FileStore+, powered by RStor will allow customers to utilize Sohonet’s FastLane direct connect services to take advantage of RStor’s global storage fabric, with high-speed replication for multi-region resiliency that is 80% cheaper than today’s market-leading options — an exciting alternative to existing storage options.
