Mezeo Software has announced Gluster as a Mezeo Ready Solution Partner. As a Mezeo Ready solution, the Gluster Storage Platform enables organizations using a Mezeo-enabled private, hybrid or public storage cloud to realize the cost, scalability and performance benefits of the Gluster Storage Platform. The Gluster Storage Platform is an open source, scale-out storage solution that runs on commodity hardware and simplifies the task of managing unstructured data at cloud-scale. Storage resources are aggregated into a single pool under a global namespace providing virtual storage that scales elastically. 

"We welcome Gluster as a Mezeo Ready Partner, and believe that our customers will be excited about being able to deploy petabyte-scale storage in a Mezeo cloud in just a matter of minutes," said Mezeo President and CEO Steve Lesem. "Gluster's modular design makes it highly scalable and flexible, which is ideal for anyone needing to move large amounts of unstructured data into the cloud."

"We share Mezeo's interest in making it easy to deploy high-performance storage clouds that deliver on the promise of reduced costs and simplified manageability," said Ben Golub, CEO at Gluster. "We deliver the ability to store large amounts of data as well as the ability to respond to dynamically changing demands and workloads. This is especially important for our customers in industries such as Web applications, digital media and healthcare."

Launched in June, the Mezeo Ready Program provides an ecosystem for service providers, developers, cloud gateway providers and technology partners all focused on delivering Mezeo-enabled cloud storage solutions.

With Mezeo, enterprises can implement a secure, private cloud, and IT Service Providers can rapidly monetize a branded cloud storage service offering. Mezeo features end-to-end encryption, advanced file sharing and collaboration, content tagging and access anywhere with white label Web 2.0, native Windows desktop, iPhone and BlackBerry clients. Mezeo is easy to deploy, multi-tenant, and highly scalable and secure, with REST Web Services APIs for platform extensibility.

Mezeo will be showcasing the Mezeo Cloud Storage Platform in booth 1029 at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2010, continuing through October 21st in Orlando, Fla.
