InfiniStor delivers affordable, secure and locally hosted cloud storage with 19 nines of durability, S3 compatibility and transparent pricing for New Zealand organisations
ASI Solutions, a premier IT services provider in Australia and New Zealand, has launched ASI Cloud InfiniStor, a cloud storage platform built on Quantum ActiveScale object storage.
Tailored for New Zealand organisations, InfiniStor delivers secure, cost-effective and locally hosted storage with high reliability and transparent pricing.
With nearly 40 years of serving public sector and enterprise clients, ASI Solutions developed InfiniStor to meet the demand for cloud storage that prioritises affordability and local control. Powered by ActiveScale’s three-site erasure coding, InfiniStor is pitched as offering 19 nines of data durability and site-level protection without the expense of multiple data copies, ensuring high availability and efficiency. Its S3-compatible interface and integrated cold storage tape tier, including S3 Glacier API support, offers the simplicity of cloud storage but with low, predictable costs, making it a game-changer for backup and archive storage.
“InfiniStor reduces storage and environmental footprint by 40%-60% compared to traditional solutions, thanks to ActiveScale’s advanced erasure coding,” said Lloyd Vickery, Country Manager for New Zealand, ASI Solutions. “This allows us to offer New Zealand businesses lower costs and higher reliability, all hosted locally.”
The University of Auckland, an early adopter, transitioned from legacy tape libraries to InfiniStor to manage growing research data. With ActiveScale as the foundation, ASI delivered a solution with bulk data access, affordable long-term archiving via the S3 Glacier API and seamless integration with the REANNZ research network for high-speed collaboration. InfiniStor’s local hosting ensures compliance with New Zealand’s data sovereignty requirements, while its 19 nines durability guarantees data safety.
InfiniStor stands out with its transparent pricing model: customers pay per terabyte with no hidden fees and enjoy unlimited egress for zero-fee data retrieval. This simplicity, combined with S3 compatibility, has driven adoption among city councils, mid-sized businesses and research institutions. ActiveScale’s intuitive management further reduces operational overhead, enabling ASI to deliver rapid value.
“ASI Solutions is redefining cloud storage in New Zealand with InfiniStor’s affordability, reliability and local focus,” said Bruno Hald, Vice President and General Manager of Secondary Storage, Quantum. “ActiveScale’s three-site erasure coding and S3 Glacier API support empower ASI to offer a service that combines enterprise-grade durability with unmatched cost efficiency.”
ASI plans to expand InfiniStor’s reach to Australia, explore white-label offerings for IT providers and integrate AI-driven analytics to enhance data insights.
“ActiveScale is the foundation for a future-proof storage service,” Vickery said. “It enables us to deliver innovation and value to our customers.”
