More on Scale Eight.

From the May 2001 Gilder report:

"...Scale Eight’s service comprises centers in London, Tokyo, Virginia, and California, each containing between 500 terabytes and one petabyte and housed in Exodus Internet Data Centers (IDCs).  A storage service provider (SSP) betting hard on bountiful bandwidth and multiple lambdas, Scale Eight pursues a strategy perfectly aligned with the storewidth paradigm. Similar in vision and architecture to Mirror Image content delivery infrastructure, Scale Eight wastes bandwidth by dumping petabytes of storage onto the Net and storing data cheaply in large storage centers built with low-priced off-the-shelf storage. Spurning the increasingly complicated RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks) configurations common in the industry, it offers a local cache and a tunnel to an infinitely scalable storage trove.

Volera Excelerates access

Akamai now uses Scale Eight to access large pools of centralized data.  MTVi, the company responsible for MTV.com and VH1.com uses Scale Eight to manage the global storage of its large audio and video files.  Backed up through instant geographic mirroring to multiple storage centers, Scale Eight can throw out  multiple copies of the same object.  Exodus has committed to reseller agreements with both Scale Eight and StorageNetworks (STOR), and with Eric Schmidt’s new venture, Volera."
