Artisan Infrastructure Quadruples Storage Capacity for Cloud Compute Growth

Artisan Infrastructure has quadrupled its storage capacity enabling its customers to cost-effectively scale their private and public cloud computing growth. The company made the announcement during the CompTia Breakway 2010 IT conference in San Antonio.This latest investment rounds out Artisan Infrastructure’s strategy to offer customers a wholesale-only compute infrastructure platform that enables complete control, autonomy and security when building their own private and public cloud computing solutions,” said Brian Hierholzer, president of Artisan Infrastructure. Artisan’s upgrade in storage capacity, based on NetApp storage technology, scales to near-Petabyte size. Wholesale customers can now fully manage their own virtual NetApp filer storage platform using Cornerstone, Artisan’s virtual Private Data Center platform.

“This added storage capacity allows Artisan Infrastructure to scale exponentially, while providing our customers the capacity, performance and autonomy they demand,” Hierholzer said. “Artisan’s Cornerstone vPDC customers have very specific requirements for managing their businesses autonomously and choosing their own software solutions, while using our infrastructure as if it were their own.” Artisan Infrastructure’s target-customers include managed service providers, systems integrators, software developers, communications providers and value added resellers with a wide range of compute and storage demands.
