ASI Solutions’ pay-per-terabyte pricing model features unlimited egress with no hidden fees, accelerating adoption among city councils, mid-market firms and research institutions. Early customer surveys indicate an average 35% reduction in total cost of ownership compared with competing cloud services. ASI has signed contracts representing over 800 terabytes of committed capacity within eight weeks of launch, highlighting strong demand for locally hosted, cost-efficient object storage. Quantum Corporation announced that ASI Solutions has launched ASI Cloud InfiniStor, a new object storage service built on Quantum ActiveScale technology. InfiniStor offers local hosting in New Zealand with three-site erasure coding delivering 19 nines of data durability. By leveraging ActiveScale’s erasure coding, the platform avoids multiple full data replicas, reducing storage and environmental footprint by 40–60%. The service exposes an S3-compatible interface and integrates a tape-backed cold tier with S3 Glacier API support, providing seamless archiving at predictable costs. Quantum’s vice president of secondary storage emphasized that ActiveScale underpins InfiniStor’s scalability and durability, positioning ASI for further growth. ASI plans to extend InfiniStor into Australia, offer white-label solutions for regional IT providers and integrate AI-driven analytics for automated data lifecycle management. The roadmap includes adding metadata indexing and predictive capacity planning modules by mid-2026, enhancing operational insights and optimizing storage utilization for enterprise customers. The University of Auckland migrated its research data management from legacy tape libraries to InfiniStor, achieving bulk data access and low-cost long-term archiving. Through the REANNZ research network, InfiniStor delivered high-speed data transfers across campuses. The university reports a 50% reduction in monthly archiving costs and zero unplanned downtime since deployment. Local data residency ensures compliance with New Zealand regulations while maintaining enterprise-grade service levels.
