"DriveScale has been working with Dell EMC for over a year to help data-driven 
companies deploy flexible, adaptable compute infrastructure optimized to the 
demands of their big data, machine learning and containerized workloads," said 
Gene Banman, CEO at DriveScale. "Earning Tier 1 Global Partner status with Dell 
EMC validates the momentum we're seeing in this space, as well as the 
effectiveness of our joint solution."

DriveScale is compatible with Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers, Ethernet switches and 
data storage solutions. DriveScale is now sold with Dell EMC solutions 
globally, expanding on the previous agreement that focused solely on selling 
solutions within the U.S market via both Dell EMC direct and indirect sales 
channels. The joint offering provides IT with the industry-leading composable 
platform combined with the industry standard for servers and storage making the 
deployment of applications on bare metal or in containers simple and cost 
effective. This ultimately allows IT teams to easily purchase comprehensive 
data center solutions as they adapt to new and changing workloads.

Through the relationship, Dell EMC and DriveScale are targeting big data, 
machine learning, NoSQL and massively parallel processing solutions optimized 
for Kubernetes and containers on bare metal deployments in cloud and enterprise 
data centers.

"As one of the premier digital advertising technology companies, AppNexus 
depends on application performance and scale to power the marketplace for 
digital buyers and sellers. AppNexus has created a world-class platform that 
requires compute infrastructure that is highly efficient and expands 
seamlessly," said Tim Smith, SVP and GM, Global Technical Infrastructure and 
Operations at AT&T's Xandr group (formerly AppNexus). "DriveScale's unique 
composable platform is a critical element to ensure we scale with agility and 
flexibility at the right price point."

"With the emergence of technologies such as AI and advanced analytics, we need 
to be able to easily scale up or down based on current workloads," said Charles 
Boicey, Chief Innovation Officer at Clearsense. "DriveScale's solution allows 
us to flexibly recompose compute and storage resources on the fly and reduce 
resources trapped in siloed clusters. We moved our healthcare analytics 
solution from a public cloud to our equipment in a co-lo, and now have more 
compute power and storage capacity for the same price. We're excited to benefit 
from an even stronger relationship between these two world-class organizations."

The DriveScale Composable Platform provides the ability to flexibly create, 
adapt, deploy and later redeploy servers optimized per workload using pools of 
disaggregated, heterogeneous compute, storage and network fabric. Performance 
is equivalent to direct attached storage (DAS) and applications run unmodified. 
Global businesses looking for public-cloud-like agility and scale in their data 
center can turn to DriveScale to solve the overprovisioning, inflexibility and 
lifecycle management issues that plague IT teams deploying modern workloads on 
direct-attached storage servers.

About DriveScale
DriveScale creates server infrastructure composed on the fly from pools of 
heterogeneous, low-cost compute nodes, storage systems and network fabric. 
Called Composable Infrastructure, the DriveScale Composable Platform 
orchestrates highly available, high-performance servers designed for 
data-intensive applications. Customers deploy and redeploy resources in 
minutes, eliminate resource underutilization and reduce refresh costs by 
decoupling compute and storage, providing cloud agility at scale in your data 
center at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. Visit
