Cloudian Honored with Outstanding Innovation Award for Advances in Data Storage Technology

SAN MATEO, Calif., April 05, 2018 -- Cloudian, the innovation leader in enterprise object storage systems, announced that it had been named a winner of the 2018 Outstanding Innovation Award, an honor bestowed on dynamic, growing and entrepreneurial firms built around outstanding innovations in technology or business that show signs of potentially changing the world.

The Awards Program, organized by the Japan Society of Northern California in collaboration with the Stanford University U.S.-Asia Technology Management Center, selected Cloudian through stringent evaluation by a distinguished Innovation Advisory Council of more than 40 people – including venture capitalists, academic experts, and prominent business executives based in Japan and in Silicon Valley.

Cloudian was presented the award for its innovations in object storage, which is helping businesses capitalize on an explosion of data driven by artificial intelligence, high-definition imaging and other forms of unstructured data with a limitlessly scalable, easily manageable and highly searchable storage platform.

The awards program is now in its seventh year; previous recipients of Emerging Leader Awards in the program include U.S. companies such as Tesla Motors, Dropbox, and Square, and Japanese companies like Sanbio, Euglena, and Mercari. However, 2018 is the inaugural year for the Outstanding Innovation Award. 

“With the emergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning, a company’s data now assumes a vital role as a learning tool for driving future business decisions, making the management of that data a strategic imperative,” said Richard Dasher, director of the U.S.-Asia Technology Management Center. “Cloudian’s technology is changing the world with its ability to help businesses manage the vast information repositories they rely upon to drive competitive advantage.”

“We are extremely honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Michael Tso, CEO of Cloudian. “Unstructured data is at the center of the Digital Transformation, driving the need to manage data at extreme scales that far surpass the limits of traditional storage technologies. Cloudian was created six years ago to elegantly address highly scalable enterprise data management, and we are gratified that hundreds of customers worldwide now benefit from our limitlessly scalable soluition.”
