Success in the enterprise-scale cloud storage market is no easy task. Whether it’s offered by established cloud giants or local, specialised IT solutions consultants, data infrastructure offerings must provide a unique value proposition to earn the trust of enterprise customers and realise long-term success.

For the Sync.com development team, it began with the creation of a "cloud storage platform we could trust to keep our own data safe," says Thomas Savundra, Sync.com’s co-founder. Then, it evolved into an end-to-end offering capable of addressing and overcoming the real-world challenges of cloud-based data storage for enterprises.

Sync.com has worked to meet the most demanding business customers’ expectations by offering enterprise-grade infrastructure, multiple data centre locations, and the most advanced storage systems — including automatic failover systems and secure HIPAA-compliant capabilities that enable legal, healthcare, and accounting firms to breathe easy while meeting requirements.

For Sync.com, success in the cloud-based storage market came with the challenge of customer demand: As data requirements ramped up, low-density systems couldn't keep pace. With over a million users and monthly storage needs measured in PB, Savundra and his team recognised the need for “the highest capacity systems, as well as platforms that are efficient for Sync.com to scale up and manage."

Working with experts at Seagate paved the way for Sync.com's solution to rapidly-increasing demand for storage scalability and reliability. Savundra notes, "As we started working with larger business and organisations, enterprise-grade reliability became the primary talking point." Seagate's high-density storage architecture provided the reliability needed to deliver on Sync's promise of privacy and protection — and the market reputation required to help boost client confidence.
