Actifio, Waltham, Massachusetts, an enterprise data-as-a-service (EDaaS) company powered by virtual data pipeline technology designed to enable users to deliver data as a service available instantly, announced a partnership with Waste Industries, a non-hazardous solid waste recycling, collection and disposals provider headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Waste Industries began using Actifio in 2016 to have applications online with a lower recovery point objective (RPO) and a recovery time objective (RTO) for the technology on its collection trucks. With features like the StreamSnap replication that work alongside Resiliency Director, Actifio's offering is designed to streamline both the backup and recovery processes in distributed environments.
"We talked about several storage redundancy solutions, and we realized we could either pay for the cost of disasters or invest in resilience and reduce our risk," says Waste Industries Head of Information Technology (IT) Hubert Barkley. "The Actifio choice was about resiliency, but also about getting to a place where we could get even more innovative with data refresh, IoT (internet of things) and predictive analytics."
"Actifio helps prepare Waste Industries for the challenges of an inevitable scaled-out future," says Actifio founder and CEO Ash Ashutosh. "It's through virtualization that organizations like Waste Industries relieve themselves of many of the cost burdens associated with massive data management, while freeing their infrastructure and their knowledge workforces to develop the next generation of applications and services that will drive future revenues."
