Scality delivers Maestro to meet growing operational demand for backup-as-a-service.

Scality delivers Maestro to meet growing operational demand for backup-as-a-service. As cloud and managed service providers race to deliver backup-as-a-service (BaaS) at scale, a critical operational challenge has emerged: managing tens to hundreds of individual object storage deployments spread across customer sites, each requiring monitoring, maintenance, and billing reconciliation. Scality announced general availability of Scality Maestro, a fleet management platform purpose-built for service providers operating large numbers of Scality ARTESCA object storage deployments on behalf of their customers. Managing distributed object storage infrastructure at scale is fundamentally different from managing a single deployment. Service providers need a single pane of glass to monitor health, push firmware and software updates, track capacity utilization across all customer sites, and do so without requiring VPN tunnels into every customer environment. As BaaS offerings grow from dozens to hundreds of sites, this operational gap becomes a hard constraint on scalability. Co-developed with cloud and service provider partners (SCSP), Scality Maestro is now in production use across customer deployments and provides service providers with: * Centralized health monitoring and alerting across the entire Scality ARTESCA fleet * End-to-end management down to the hardware layer, including ARTESCA software upgrades and server firmware updates * Aggregated capacity utilization data across all customer deployments, enabling automated pay-as-you-go billing * Out-of-band connectivity architecture that eliminates VPN requirements, as all traffic flows from ARTESCA to Maestro, never the reverse * Support for enterprises managing ARTESCA across branch offices or distributed edge locations "We manage multiple Scality ARTESCA deployments across our key customer sites in the UK and Ireland as part of our backup-as-a-service offering, and until Maestro, every one of them was independently managed - separate logins, VPN tunnels, manual update cycles, and monthly capacity reports assembled by hand. Instead, Maestro gives us a single view of the entire fleet. Software updates that consume hours of staff time can now be monitored centrally, and we can grow the fleet without adding operational headcount. We can already foresee a significant difference in running our service." - Dominic McLouglin, CEO, Autodata While Maestro was designed primarily for the SCSP and MSP market, the platform is equally well suited to enterprise organizations running ARTESCA across multiple locations, whether at the edge, in branch offices, or as part of a distributed data protection architecture. Once deployments expand beyond a handful of sites, organizations reach an operational inflection point: tools that work well for a single site cannot efficiently manage tens or hundreds. Maestro provides the centralized management needed to operate at that scale. "Service providers building BaaS businesses on Scality ARTESCA are managing infrastructure at a scale that demands enterprise-grade operational tooling. Maestro was built with our SCSP partners to solve the real operational problems they face every day with centralized visibility, automated management, and the billing infrastructure to run a sustainable managed service. The fact that it requires no VPN and no network reconfiguration on the customer side was a hard requirement from day one." - Thomas Danan, Sr. Product Director, Scality Availability Scality Maestro 1.1 is generally available and supports all Scality ARTESCA deployments running version 4.0.3 or later.

Scality and WEKA expand partnership ahead of RAISE Summit. Scality and WEKA have expanded their partnership in France with a new joint customer support agreement. As part of the deal, Scality will offer the companies' combined solution to customers in the French market, providing local enterprises with a single in-country contact for both sales and first-line support. The announcement comes ahead of RAISE Summit 2026, Europe's leading AI event, scheduled for July 8-9 at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, where both companies will be exhibiting. A single, in-country support experience for French customers. Scality and WEKA's combined technologies deliver a complementary solution for AI workloads. WEKA's NeuralMesh software provides accelerated storage and context memory performance at scale, keeping GPUs fully utilized for AI model training and inference. Scality ADI (Autonomous Data Infrastructure) is a data infrastructure platform that delivers autonomous operations, cyber resilience, and sovereign control across the full data lifecycle, from active workloads to durable, long-term retention at exabyte scale. The new agreement makes the combined solution easier for French customers to adopt and operate, with front-line technical support delivered locally by Scality. Data Management Deepening joint go-to-market in France. The support agreement builds on the jointly validated solution the two companies announced on February 24, 2026, which pairs WEKA's NeuralMesh high-performance AI storage and context memory platform with a cost-efficient Scality RING object tier. The integration uses Scality's lightweight object connector for NeuralMesh, delivering up to 10x faster performance and up to 20% lower infrastructure costs in Scality testing. It also reflects a broader expansion of joint go-to-market activities in France, where Scality and WEKA are engaging a growing set of shared prospects. By aligning their complementary technologies and now their local support and sales motions, the partners aim to give French enterprises, government organizations, and AI builders a clear, low-risk path to high-performance, cost-efficient, cyber-resilient AI infrastructure. Meeting customers at RAISE Summit Paris. Both companies are exhibiting at RAISE Summit 2026. Visit Scality at booth #3D and WEKA at booth #2D to learn more about the joint solution and meet the experts behind it. The companies will co-host an invitation-only Lumiere Candlelight(R) concert and dinner at the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel on Wednesday, July 8, bringing together Europe's top AI builders, founders, and partners beyond the conference floor.

Scality and OVHcloud accelerate European digital sovereignty with new cloud storage offering.

Scality and OVHcloud accelerate European digital sovereignty with new cloud storage offering. July 1, 2026 Press play to listen to this content SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 2026 - Scality, a global leader in data infrastructure software for the AI era, and OVHcloud, a global cloud provider and European cloud leader, have announced an expanded technology partnership and a new joint storage platform built for European digital sovereignty. The solution gives organizations full control over sensitive data, with no dependency on U.S. hyperscalers, while delivering the performance and resilience required for the most demanding AI workloads. Deployment options include a 100% dedicated sovereign cloud and on-premises via the OVHcloud OPCP (On-Prem Cloud Platform), with backup replication across multiple availability zones (multi-AZ). The expanded partnership addresses two urgent business needs: maintaining control over sensitive data in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment and providing private infrastructure capable of supporting the most intensive artificial intelligence workloads. Sovereign Infrastructure, Uncompromised Performance Today, digital transformation faces a contradiction: organizations want the agility of the cloud but cannot afford to expose critical data to foreign jurisdictions. This challenge is particularly acute in healthcare, finance, defense, and public services, where strict regulations such as European GDPR, DORA, NIS2, and HIPAA for the U.S. require data localization and complete control over information assets. The combination of Scality and OVHcloud OPCP solutions directly addresses this challenge. Scality RING and Scality ARTESCA provide massive, resilient, S3-compatible object storage deployed directly on the customer's on-premises infrastructure. OPCP adds cloud-native orchestration, a managed services catalog, and deployment automation, all built on a foundation independent of foreign public cloud providers. Beyond the on-premises layer, this alliance also extends to a dedicated storage offering on OVHcloud Bare Metal infrastructure through the HGR-STOR range. This setup enables organizations to easily deploy off-site backups with private S3 compatibility, integrated with leading cyber-resilience tools such as Veeam and Commvault, all hosted directly by OVHcloud. A key advantage is the guarantee of 100% dedicated servers, with no resource sharing with other customers, providing predictable performance and maximum isolation. It also supports a robust business continuity plan (BCP) by enabling controlled failover to OVHcloud infrastructure in the event of a disaster or primary site outage. For end users, the result is a modern, seamless, sovereign cloud experience with predictable costs and without the legal risks associated with U.S. hyperscalers. AI Close to the Data Artificial intelligence requires vast amounts of data and computing power, but it is equally demanding in terms of latency and confidentiality. Training models or performing inference on mission-critical data, like medical records, financial transactions, and industrial telemetry, requires processing it where it resides. The joint Scality-OVHcloud OPCP platform addresses this need end-to-end. Scality's high-performance object storage, which is GPU-direct compatible and optimized for AI data pipelines, integrates natively with OPCP's managed on-premises infrastructure. Organizations can train models, run MLOps pipelines, and deploy AI applications in near real time directly within their own environments, without compromising data security or regulatory compliance. "OVHcloud and Scality share the same conviction: sovereignty is not a barrier to innovation - it is the prerequisite," said Emilio Roman, Chief Revenue Officer, Scality. "By combining our high-performance object storage with the OPCP platform, we empower companies to scale their AI projects without ever sacrificing control over their data." "The OVHcloud OPCP platform was designed so that software vendors and their customers can benefit from the power of the cloud wherever they need it: on their own premises," said Sylvie Houliere Mayca, Managing Director France Belux & MEA, OVHcloud. "Scality is the natural and recognized partner for high-performance storage solutions for the most critical data. Together, OVHcloud and Scality provide a sovereign infrastructure backed by more than 25 years of OVHcloud expertise and ready for AI." About Scality Scality builds data infrastructure software for enterprise AI, cyber resilience, and sovereign control at multi-petabyte to exabyte scale.
