Skyera Recognized by CRN as a 2014 Emerging Vendor

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Skyera Inc., the leader in high density, all-flash, solid-state storage arrays that maximize data center efficiency, announced today it has been recognized as one of 2014's hottest emerging technology vendors by CRN, the top news source for solution providers and the IT channel.  The annual Emerging Vendors list identifies up-and-coming technology vendors that have introduced innovative new products, creating opportunities for channel partners in North America to create high-margin, cutting-edge solutions for their customers.

Skyera has changed the enterprise storage dynamic significantly with its groundbreaking new storage platform that combines affordability and performance in the only viable all-flash array to break the price barrier for mainstream enterprise storage. Leveraging a system-wide design approach and the most advanced NAND flash available, skyHawk delivers unprecedented density and efficiency to mitigate the expense of explosive data growth. Skyera uses minimum overprovisioned NAND flash capacity combined with hardware-based data reduction and flash-optimized RAID-SE to deliver the best performance and life expectancy at the most cost-effective capacity per dollar.

"Solution providers are always on the hunt for the next big technology trend so that they can bring new solutions to their customers before they even know they need them. These vendors are on the forefront of IT innovation and are offering products and services that channel partners can use to stay ahead of the competition," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company, publisher of CRN.  "We congratulate 2014's Emerging Vendors for creating the next wave of technology that will drive the IT industry forward and for opening the door to new, unique solutions from the IT channel."

"Storage has evolved to something more than simply a place to place and safeguard an enterprise's data – it's become a lifeblood of an organization to help it make better decisions, improve operations and achieve more revenue," said Radoslav Danilak, Co-Founder and CEO of Skyera. "We are appreciative to the editors of CRN for recognizing our efforts to significantly boost an application's performance with our groundbreaking storage platform that combines both affordability and performance. We are helping to bring in a new era of storage with disruptive solid-state storage that provides unparalleled performance, speed and capacity while minimizing the cost of power consumption and floor space."

Companies included in CRN's 2014 Emerging Vendors list were founded in 2008 or later and are actively working with channel partners in North America. The list, along with information about each vendor, will be published in CRN's August 2014 issue and will also be available online at www.crn.com.
