The legend of Sasquatch: mythical creature and storage solution in one
In the dense forests and majestic mountains of Canada and North America, the legend of Sasquatch has been passed down through generations. This mythical being is said to be a large, hairy giant with white fur, wandering in the cover of trees and rarely seen by humans. For indigenous peoples, Sasquatch symbolizes untouched nature and all the undiscovered secrets that lie within the depths of this wilderness.
But Sasquatch intrigues not only adventurers and scientists; it has also inspired us in the development of our software-defined storage portfolio. Around 10 years ago, it became clear that traditional storage systems could no longer meet the growing demands for flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency. As a technology pioneer, we were captivated by the idea of decoupling hardware from software and ushering in a new era of storage technology.
Just as the mythical creature roams through dense forests, our Sasquatch® software-defined storage family moves seamlessly through the complex digital world, offering every modern IT environment the freedom and adaptability needed to ensure business success.
Our customers benefit from a flexible, cost-effective, and powerful solution that fully leverages their data’s potential, tackling every challenge with ease and excellence.
