SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwired) — 05/22/17 — DriveScale, a leader in delivering Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI) for modern workloads, has been named the winner of a bronze Stevie® Award in the Software Tech Startup of the Year category as a result of its innovations in data center technology and the company–s continued growth. The American Business Awards are the nation–s premier business awards program. More than 3,600 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration this year in a wide range of categories. More than 190 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year–s Stevie Award winners.
“Our team is thrilled that the American Business Awards has recognized DriveScale as an outstanding startup of the year,” said Gene Banman, CEO of DriveScale. “In the year since our launch, we have made enormous strides both with our product and as a company. We look forward to building on that foundation and continuing to empower our customers to maximize the potential of their data center resources with Software Defined Infrastructure.”
DriveScale–s seasoned team developed its unique solution — the first on the market that allows mainstream enterprises to quickly and easily adopt SDI — in response to the clear industry need for data center infrastructure for the modern era. The DriveScale System, a tightly integrated combination of on-prem software, hardware and cloud-based services, provides modern computing architecture that breaks through the typical cost and scaling limitations found in enterprise data centers. With DriveScale, companies no longer need to move to a costly public cloud environment because data center administrators can disaggregate and recompose compute and storage resources on the fly and adapt to the ever-changing needs of modern big data applications.
“Each year the judges find the quality and variety of the nominations to be greater than the year before. The 2017 competition was intense and every organization that has won should be proud,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards.
This award is the latest in a series of accolades for the company including being named an EMA Vendor to Watch, being recognized as an IDC Innovator, finalist nods in the TechTarget Product of the Year and Tech Trailblazers awards and being named a Top 20 Hadoop Vendor by CIO Review.
