Microsoft-Centric Innovators Gridstore and 5nine Software Showcase Advanced Security With HyperConverged Infrastructure

Gridstore, the leader in hyper-converged all flash infrastructure for the Microsoft Cloud-Inspired Datacenter and 5nine Software, the leading global Hyper-V virtualization security and management provider, today announced they will be presenting their recently launched integrated solution that delivers advanced security for hyperconverged infrastructure at the upcoming Microsoft Cloud and Hosting Summit, May 10-12 at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue, Washington. Delegates at this exclusive invitation-only event are invited to visit Gridstore and 5nine at booth #27.

The 2016 Microsoft Cloud and Hosting Summit provides a unique opportunity for dialogue with industry leaders including Microsoft executives, technologists and the Microsoft hosting team. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of Microsoft’s vision for the hosting industry and its strategy for growth with hosting providers. Attendees can collaborate with fellow innovators on meeting the challenges of the hosting industry. Ultimately, professionals will leave the Summit empowered with a better understanding of how to create, optimize, and grow their business.

"We are extremely pleased to be joining forces with our technology partner at this prestigious event," said Symon Perriman, Vice President of Business Development, 5nine Software. "I believe this alliance will go a long way in helping customers realize the full potential of their investment in their virtual infrastructure."

"Both 5nine Software and Gridstore provide solutions purpose-built for Hyper-V," said Victoria Grey, Chief Marketing Officer, Gridstore. "5nine’s security products allow our service provider customers to have secure multi-tenant protection and our data center customers to have strong security that does not slow the system down and is easy to manage. It is great for VDI, SQL server or just general infrastructure environments."

5nine solutions are fully integrated with the Gridstore all-flash HyperConverged Infrastructure (HCI). Both companies implement their technology at the operating system level rather than in virtual machines. This enables easy deployment and management of the combined solution while delivering higher virtual machine (VM) density and faster storage I/O performance delivering dramatically lower total cost of ownership. Gridstore’s customers can be assured of the safety of their infrastructure from threats due to the industry’s leading security (5nine Cloud Security) solutions from 5nine Software.

Gridstore HCI delivers compute, storage, and storage networking in a single appliance that offers market leading price/performance, efficient scaling, and scale-to-fit design. It is easy to deploy and reduces management time and effort. Leveraging its patented technology, Gridstore HCI delivers the same performance and VM density as traditional converged solutions with 75% less physical infrastructure and a 65% lower price-per-VM. The Gridstore HyperConverged Appliance is an ideal platform for infrastructure refreshes and specific Windows workloads such as VDI, SQL Server, Dev/Test, and ROBO.
