EMA Names the Creator of the First Universal Data Infrastructure, Datera, a Vendor to Watch

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 26, 2016) - Datera, the application-driven cloud data infrastructure company, today announced that Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, has named Datera a "Vendor to Watch." This recognition is awarded to companies that deliver value in innovative ways, and EMA notes that Datera takes a unique approach to enabling cloud value propositions while lowering risk and increasing efficiency.

The rise of cloud computing has given rise to a proliferation of data across the enterprise and monolithic, box-based storage solutions are struggling to maintain the quality, endurance and reliably of customers' exponentially-growing data assets. In turn, companies have been forced to buy expensive, siloed storage solutions that require hours of manual work and cannot scale to the ever-changing needs of today's digital enterprise. In contrast, Datera's Elastic Data Fabric enables companies to store, manage and move data quickly and efficiently, saving enterprises time and money and ensuring that their information is always accessible. Datera is also able to adapt to an application's needs in real-time, so it is consistently supported.

"Datera is honored to receive EMA's prestigious 'Vendor to Watch' recognition for our innovation in automating the data center for any application, across all stacks and any environment with our Elastic Data Fabric storage infrastructure solution," said Gurpreet Singh, president of Datera. "EMA is at the forefront of trendspotting, and this award validates the market need for the hyperscale data solutions Datera has pioneered."

Datera's Elastic Data Fabric automatically adapts to an application's storage needs and efficiently scales applications so enterprises can roll out web-scale, private-cloud deployments instantly. Performance, cost and capacity are all identified and storage resources are distributed to individual applications based on specific needs. The fabric is self-aware and adaptive and can leverage both all-flash and hybrid storage, as well as traditional storage solutions. Customers can start at their own pace by replacing aging equipment with Datera as capacity and performance needs grow.
