SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DriveScale, the leader in delivering Software Composable Infrastructure (SCI) for modern workloads, today announced that the 16th Annual American Business Awards® named it a silver winner in the "Technical Innovation of the Year" category and a bronze winner in the "Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year" category. These accolades are the result of continued innovation in data center architecture and composable infrastructure, and for providing persistent storage for container environments.

"From the company's inception, DriveScale's mission has been to bring architectural and management innovation to very large clusters of computers, underlying data analytics and data management applications like Hadoop, Spark, NoSQL and Containers," said Gene Banman, CEO of DriveScale. "By providing customers with an agile data center solution our IT customers have been able to give their users more responsive SLAs at a lower cost. We are honored to have been recognized by the American Business Awards as an innovative company and for our newest product capabilities for container support."

DriveScale's SCI technology is the first solution that empowers mainstream enterprises to quickly and easily provision and modify existing infrastructures under software control to match the ever-changing needs of modern big data applications. With DriveScale, companies are able to enjoy cloud-like elasticity and speed which ultimately improves utilization of resources and response to end users' needs in real-time. Over the last year, DriveScale has continued to improve its flagship product line by adding key customer-driven enhancements that ensure mission critical resiliency and easy and efficient cluster expansion. To address the demand for scalable, persistent storage for container environments such as Docker and Kubernetes, DriveScale recently introduced a FlexVolume plugin, providing direct attached storage-like performance and persistence across containers. The combination of DriveScale's SCI solution and container environments enables businesses faster time to market at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches.

"The nominations submitted for The 2018 American Business Awards were outstanding. The competition was intense, and those recognized as Stevie Award winners should be immensely proud of this accomplishment," said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards.
