Cubbit, a scale-up developing geo-distributed cloud storage technology, and Rai Way, an integrated digital infrastructure operator and media content distribution service provider, announce that they have signed a business alliance partnership as part of the launch of Rai Way’s new services.
With this agreement, Rai Way integrates cloud storage services into its offering, choosing Cubbit’s DS3 Composer technology to enable a completely Italian edge-to-cloud offering. Cubbit creates innovative cloud storage solutions that guarantee maximum resilience, sovereignty and data availability. At the heart of the technology is a system that pulverises stored data, dividing it into encrypted fragments and distributing them across multiple nodes in the network. No file is ever exposed in its entirety and remains accessible at all times, even in the event of a cyberattack or failure.
Rai Way chose Cubbit because it wanted to adopt cutting-edge technology to offer its customers high-performance, secure and competitive services. The resilience, security and performance of the Cubbit/Rai Way solution are enhanced by the unique geographical distribution of Rai Way’s data centres and its proprietary network infrastructure. Rai Way has integrated Cubbit technology into its first five newly built data centres located in Venice, Turin, Milan, Genoa and Florence, with an initial available capacity of 5 petabytes that will be dedicated to providing cloud object storage services to its customers. The service is active and available to all users, with the option of free trial periods.
Michele Gallo, head of operations datacenter at Rai Way, comments in a statement: “The partnership with Cubbit reinforces Rai Way’s strategy of providing Italian businesses and public administrations with solutions and infrastructure capable of accelerating digital transformation. Specifically, the synergy between the distributed presence of our latest-generation data centres across the country, the proprietary fibre optic network that connects them, and innovative technology such as Cubbit’s, guarantees a secure and resilient solution for data backup and storage.”
“The partnership between Cubbit and Rai Way confirms how our technology is establishing itself as the benchmark solution for data management,” says Alessandro Cillario, co-CEO and co-founder of Cubbit (pictured). “With Cubbit, we identify strategic partners in certain vertical sectors and provide them with our technology, supporting them in developing their business. In this way, end customers benefit from greater security, resilience and cost optimisation, and can rely on the long-standing relationship they have with our partners. After Leonardo in the defence sector, we are proud to enable Rai Way to offer the best service on the media and entertainment market.”
