CIC Uses Gluster Cloud Storage to Maintain High SLAs and Deliver Top-Rate Performance

By Anil Sharma, TMCnet Contributor


CIC, a supplier of electronic signature solutions for the financial services industry, has selected Gluster’s cloud storage technology to move applications to the cloud.

CIC selected Gluster to provide the storage in its Amazon Web Services (News - Alert) (AWS) and RightScale environment, allowing the delivery of its product and service offering without compromising its high service level agreements (SLAs).


“Our clients not only require 24/7 retrieval and access to documents, but also expect us to deliver these items quickly and efficiently,” said Nhan Nguyen, chief scientist and CTO at CIC, in a statement.

“Reliability and performance are the major focal points of our IT operations department and Gluster is providing us with a cloud storage technology that not only allows us to quickly deploy services on the cloud, but also matches and exceeds high availability and performance levels, as if deployed on premise at our client sites,” said Nguyen.

He said that the company is looking forward to the continued benefits Gluster is expected to provide and its ability to support the company in delivering top rate service to the clients.

Officials with Gluster claimed that after deploying the company’s technology, CIC quickly realized dramatic storage performance and availability improvements to its cloud storage deployment.

Company officials said that utilizing Gluster provides CIC with easily managed, shared storage that elevates performance by pooling, aggregating and virtualizing EBS and provides greater availability with synchronous and asynchronous replication.

“Our storage technology provided CIC with the final key component to its cloud infrastructure that delivered high availability without compromising performance,” said Anand Babu (AB) Periasamy, CTO and co-founder of Gluster.

Periasamy said that Gluster’s software is the perfect complement to CIC’s IT operations, helping accelerate the company’s cloud deployment, while positively impacting its business and meeting customer demands.

Gluster is a provider of open source storage solutions for public, private and hybrid clouds. Over 150 enterprises worldwide have used Gluster in commercial deployments ranging from a few terabytes to multiple petabytes, across the most demanding applications in digital media delivery, healthcare, Internet, energy and biotech.
