Everyone’s bragging about blazing-fast storage numbers — but how real are they?
In this episode, Scality CTO Giorgio Regni and CMO Paul Speciale dig into the truth behind object storage performance metrics. They unpack why some vendors’ benchmark claims look great on paper but fall apart in real-world use, especially when accelerator nodes and gateway layers come into play.

Modern object storage has evolved far beyond cold archive use — it now powers demanding workloads from analytics to AI. But not all “performance gains” are created equal. This episode exposes the hidden trade-offs behind accelerator-based architectures, where write-speed boosts can complicate restores and compromise resilience.

Giorgio explains why understanding restore performance matters just as much as write performance, and why architecture, not raw hardware, is what truly defines real-world throughput.

If you’re evaluating object storage or comparing vendor benchmarks, this one’s essential viewing.

Key takeaways:
- Object storage has evolved from archival to high-performance systems.
- Vendor performance claims often omit crucial context.
- System architecture — not hardware alone — drives true performance.
- Restore performance is critical in ransomware recovery scenarios.
- Accelerator nodes can add complexity and risk.
- Real-world metrics matter more than synthetic lab tests.
- Always ask how performance numbers were measured — and on what architecture.
- Understanding these trade-offs helps you choose smarter.

Storage Performance claims: What vendors don't tell you

Kubernetes just got a serious upgrade. In this episode, Scality CTO Giorgio Regni joins CMO Paul Speciale to unpack how the new COSI driver changes everything for DevOps and IT teams — automating object storage, tightening IAM-based security, and future-proofing deployments across any Kubernetes platform.

The Container Object Storage Interface (COSI) is the new standard for integrating external object storage directly into Kubernetes. With Scality’s open-source COSI driver, developers can automatically provision and manage S3 buckets — complete with IAM credentials — without manual setup. The result: faster automation, fewer leaks, and smoother portability between on-prem and cloud.

Whether you’re managing thousands of S3 buckets or just getting started with cloud-native storage, this episode breaks down how COSI simplifies your workflow and hardens your security posture.

Cut costs:  Consolidate backup and storage on a single server to reduce hardware, save energy, and simplify maintenance — ideal for mid-size and edge environments.

ARTESCA+ Veeam all-in-one Backup + storage appliance

94% of IT leaders rely on immutable storage to protect their data.

But is immutability enough to fight evolving threats like AI-fueled ransomware? In short, no.

It’s time for a new standard of data protection: End-to-end cyber resilience.

See how Scality ARTESCA object storage works seamlessly with Veeam for unbreakable ransomware protection, high performance, and ease of use that no other solution delivers.

Join Veeam + Scality Field CTOs and ESG moderator Christophe Bertrand, for a close-up look and get your questions answered live.

Go beyond immutable with Veeam + Scality

Tune in as ESG’s Scott Sinclair and Scality’s Paul Speciale reveal:
- How AI-fueled cyberattacks are changing the game
- How data exfiltration is shifting the ransomware threat — and how the right backup solution can help (it’s not all about production data!)
- Why the storage industry must move beyond immutability toward CORE5, a new standard of end-to-end cyber resilience
- What to look for in a backup solution to ensure you’re protected from the widest possible range of threats

For many enterprises, there is a need for the scalability and agility of public cloud storage, but with the improved security processes, performance and lower-cost structure of a private cloud infrastructure. Moreover, the rise of malware/ransomware threats means that companies need a way to store their data that is impervious to these attacks and other threats to their mission-critical data. 

What is needed is an unbreakable cloud storage solution that can be deployed in the customer’s choice of data center, with the scale and agility of cloud storage - but with the “air-gapped” immutable data advantages of tape. This session will explore Scality’s offerings for this new era of cloud storage to counter the threats of ransomware.

Unbreakable Cloud Storage for Data Centers

Over the last few years, concepts around hybrid and multi-cloud data management have received increasing attention from customers and solutions providers. In its early forms, cloud data management has focused on solving discrete use-cases such as cloud data archiving (moving cold/dormant data to cloud storage), bursting data to the public cloud for processing, or mirroring data to the cloud for business continuance (D/R solutions). A new set of requirements is now emerging that creates a need for more custom cloud data management policies, to help solve data-centric problems in areas such as edge computing, AI/ML and to ensure that data sovereignty rules are enforced.

In this session, Scality Chief Product Officer, Paul Speciale, and Scality Co-Founder & CTO, Giorgio Regni, we will discuss and demonstrate a new visual data management policy UI and engine that promises to deliver a solution for these new requirements.

Advancements in Cloud Data Management with Scality

In April 2021, Scality announced ARTESCA, a lightweight, cloud-native object storage software solution. This session provides a live demonstration of the ARTESCA user interface (UI), and how it can simplify storage management for these new workloads.

Applications are modernizing as containerized services on Kubernetes. In addition, new application workloads in AI/Machine Learning, big data analytics and edge computing are driving new demands for data storage. Scality’s session will focus on the emerging data challenges in this new world of cloud-native and edge computing. Our session will introduce Scality ARTESCA, a new lightweight, cloud-native, object-storage solution that is designed to solve these challenges. As part of our session, we will provide a live demonstration of the ARTESCA user interface (UI), and how it can simplify storage management for these new workloads.

 - Application modernization to cloud native and Kubernetes is driving new requirements for data storage.
 - Object storage is becoming increasingly embraced for these new workloads, specifically in big data analytics, AI/ML and on the edge.
 - This demands new solutions for managing data across core data centers, clouds and for edge deployments.

Scality at Solutions Review's Data Protection Demo Day

Data is all around us, being constantly generated, and growing exponentially. Successful enterprises have found data to be key to their success, as they strive to maximize organizational efficiency, productivity and profitability, while protecting valuable intellectual property. Splunk provides all the tools and features needed to identify and reveal the hidden value embedded in those vast amounts of data. The growth of that data now exceeds the growth of compute requirements for analyzing it, and merely storing the data has become quite expensive. Splunk SmartStore, along with HPE’s powerful, “always on”, sub-millisecond latency storage, and high speed compute provide the means to effectively contain those expenses.
