WSTG Wayside Technology Group Inc

Climb Channel Solutions, an international specialty technology distributor and wholly-owned subsidiary of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTG), is partnering with storage and server market leader Viking Enterprise Solutions to offer their Cloud Native Obsidian storage solution.

The exponential growth of unstructured data has put enterprises in a challenging situation where they are now paying large, unpredictable, recurring fees to public cloud providers – and having to deal with performance, security, control, continuity, and complexity issues. This new partnership brings a cost-controlled, flexible storage alternative to public cloud storage platforms, giving companies complete control of mission-critical, frequently accessed data.

Viking Enterprise Solutions’ Cloud Native Obsidian (CNO) is a highly scalable, on-premise software-defined storage solution targeted to market segments including media/entertainment, video surveillance, backup and archive, and enterprise file services. Based on a cloud native and object-and-file storage architecture, CNO’s compatibility with public cloud platforms enables businesses to deploy a hybrid cloud strategy while reducing operational expenses. CNO simplifies storage implementation by providing flexibility, geo-redundancy, data durability, reliability, and scalability at predictable costs.

“With an industry push to move critical data to the cloud, businesses are struggling to find affordable, secure and scalable storage,” says Dale Foster, CEO of Climb Channel Solutions. “Offering Viking Enterprise Solutions’ Cloud Native Obsidian creates an amazing opportunity to provide on-prem cloud storage allowing critical data to remain secure and readily available.”

“In addition to CNO, Viking Enterprise Solutions’ full portfolio of solutions are now available through Climb,” says Mark DeVincent, SVP and GM of Viking Enterprise Solutions. “Viking advanced data center products including on-prem cloud storage appliances, storage servers and high density JBODs help solve the data challenges facing many enterprises.”
