Leonovus Enlists Canadian VAR ZoneTI to Empower Enterprise Cloud Data Governance

OTTAWA, April 25, 2017 -- Leonovus (TSXV:LTV), a data storage solutions software provider, today announced its strategic partnership with Montreal-based value added reseller (VAR) ZoneTI, to further elevate its software-defined object storage solution (SDOSS). ZoneTI will leverage Leonovus 3.0, the latest release of Leonovus’ SDOSS, to its global network of enterprise storage and cloud customers as the go-to solution for improving enterprise storage ROI and regulatory compliance.

Together, Leonovus and ZoneTI will give Canadian enterprises access to an on-premises, hybrid or multi-cloud storage solution that puts control back in the hands of the IT department and allows for a truly secure and compliant enterprise software defined storage architecture.

“Leonovus and ZoneTI share a common goal - empower enterprise IT to move and manage data either on-premises or in the cloud without risking security or compliance,” said Michael Gaffney, chairman and CEO of Leonovus. “With ZoneTI’s ten years of IT experience, we are able to positively impact even more enterprise customers with the unique and powerful software defined storage technology found in Leonovus 3.0.”

Leonovus 3.0 enables enterprise IT to commission and operate a private, software-defined plane of security and governance across its entire data storage architecture. This capability is managed through Leonovus’ Enterprise Services Node (ESN) and offers a secure storage architecture that strengthens regulatory compliance while reducing IT spend on data storage. ZoneTI will be the first VAR able to offer Leonovus 3.0 to its enterprise customers.

“As more enterprises look to move their data to the cloud, organizations struggle to effectively grow revenues without spending significant time worrying about the IT department. Leonovus’ SDOSS solution improves enterprise cloud ROI ten-fold - which is a motivating factor for enterprises that once overlooked the benefits of the cloud,” said Michel Théroux, president of ZoneTI. “We are pleased and honored to be Leonovus’ first Canadian partner and offer Leonovus 3.0 as a powerful and secure way to reduce capital and operational expenses.”
