StorageCraft’s
vision to disrupt
storage silos gains
momentum
torageCraft, the company whose
mission is to protect all data and
ensure its constant availability,
announced strong momentum as channel
partners and customers alike embrace
the company’s approach to seamless
and integrated data management,
protection and recovery. The company
announced it had experienced growth
across all aspects of its business, with
the number of servers it protects having
increased more than 100% year-on-
year. Companies purchase StorageCraft
solutions to ensure uninterrupted
access to business-critical data. They
achieve this by deploying StorageCraft
ShadowProtect, the company’s backup
solution, which provides instant
and flexible recovery capabilities.
StorageCraft Cloud Services then
provide an additional level of protection
by enabling customers to replicate
their data to the cloud. In case of a
disaster, customers avoid disruption and
downtime because they can recover any
number and type of machines instantly in
the cloud and keep them running while
they bring their on-premises data back
online. Repeat purchases from existing
customers contributed significantly
to the company’s success, with more
than 45% of StorageCraft OneBlox
customers expanding their deployments
to seamlessly scale-out their storage
infrastructure from terabytes (TBs) to
petabytes (PBs) without disrupting
their business.

As a steward, DigiCert will operate
a validator node and contribute
developer resources, helping to
ensure the validity, accessibility and
security of the distributed ledger at
the heart of the foundation’s self-
sovereign identity technology.
Self-sovereign identity refers to
digital identity that is decentralised,
secure, portable, private and
completely trustworthy.
“At DigiCert, we have spent nearly two
decades as a public certificate authority,
and recently for connected devices,
refining our processes and improving
industry standards for providing scalable
encryption and authentication,” said
DigiCert Chief Technology Officer Dan
Timpson. “Our initiative with the Sovrin
Foundation builds upon that experience
and provides real value in advancing
reliable identity and trust for today’s
and tomorrow’s connected technologies
seeking to use Blockchain.”
Timpson noted that DigiCert is also
contributing developer resources to the
open source Sovrin codebase, which is
administered by Hyperledger as Project
Indy. According to Timpson, DigiCert plans
to lean on its extensive experience building
large-scale PKI-based authentication
systems to improve the security of the data
written to the Sovrin ledger.
