Case Study: ERA achieves scalable, high-performance managed cloud storage with DataCore

ERA achieves 99.99% zero-downtime service with Datacore

ERA, a media-focused technology solutions provider, sought to transition from a traditional value-added reseller (VAR) model to offering managed services. Their challenge was to deliver a scalable, high-performance, and resilient storage solution for clients with large media datasets while controlling infrastructure costs and avoiding large upfront capital expenditure.

DataCore addressed this by enabling ERA to become a DataCore Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Using DataCore's software-defined storage, which is hardware-agnostic and features thin provisioning and performance caching, ERA deployed a flexible "burst to the cloud" service. The results included a 99.99% SLA with zero storage-related downtime, faster provisioning, and the economic benefit of paying only for monthly consumption. DataCore's solution allowed ERA to scale on demand, increase service quality, and grow their managed services business competitively.
