Stratoscale, which emphasizes its ability to deliver cloud economics to the data centre – rather than the hyperconverged nature of its technology – also made the formal announcement of its PartnerFirst Program for its channel, which is its sole route to market.
The hyperconverged startup emphasizes the end product, a highly scalable out-of-the-box private cloud initially focused on development and testing environments, rather than the hyperconverged label itself, which they think has been somewhat overused.
Stratoscale emerged from stealth late last year with some powerful vendor investors, a unique hyperconverged value proposition and a 100 per cent channel strategy. The plan is for the product to be available this summer.
