As enterprises build their digital businesses around a hybrid and multi-cloud 
core architecture, they need greater agility both in connecting, storing, and 
efficiently moving data across that core. 

"Data is the currency of digital business success. The agility and velocity of 
data in motion is key to unlocking its value," said PacketFabric CEO Dave Ward. 
"But optimal data mobility across a cloud-based architecture requires two key 
ingredients--an agile network and super-positioned data infrastructure. By 
integrating RSTOR's storage infrastructure and data mobility technology at the 
edge of PacketFabric's carrier-class Network as a Service platform, we can help 
enterprises build an agile and high-performance cloud data core."

"RSTOR has built and grown its business around the idea of allowing customers 
to control their data as they transition from on-premises to hybrid and then 
multi-cloud architectures," said RSTOR Founder and CEO Giovanni Coglitore. 
"PacketFabric's on-demand, low-latency network has been a foundational element 
in our solution, allowing RSTOR the agility and cost-efficiency in moving data 
into, out of, and between clouds. The complete integration between our data 
mobility cloud and PacketFabric's network platform is the logical step in our 
journey to maximize the value that our customers are already enjoying."

PacketFabric's Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform orchestrates on-demand 
connectivity across colocation facilities, cloud providers, and private network 
interconnection across the globe. PacketFabric's agile connectivity empowers 
enterprises to move at the speed of the cloud, digitally transform their 
business, and deliver superior digital experiences. 

Combining the PacketFabric NaaS platform with RSTOR's storage and data mobility 
services creates a compelling offering for enterprises, and for global channel 
and technology partners.

"When designing a hybrid multi-cloud IT architecture for the business, network 
connectivity is a strategic consideration because low latency access to digital 
infrastructure is essential to application performance and user experience," 
said Mel Melara, Vice-President of Sales and Head of Data Center Practice at 
leading IT Strategy firm Bridgepointe Technologies. "PacketFabric and RSTOR 
were already key Bridgepointe suppliers, helping us deliver intelligent and 
adaptive cloud infrastructure to enterprises. We're excited to see even greater 
value for our customers as the two solutions integrate as one."

"We are excited to see PacketFabric with its Network-as-a-Service capabilities 
being offered with RSTOR's innovative storage and data mobility services. The 
combination of these integrated solutions will be extremely attractive in the 
APAC region and beyond," said Nobuhiro Suemasa, CEO at Tokyo-based firm TwoFive 
Inc. "We have been delighted to see an expansion of the number of points of 
presence in Japan – now we can expect further extension of this high-value 
package of services throughout the region which will deliver significant 
benefits for customers."
