Scality Rolls Out Multi-Cloud Management Tool Zenko in Open Source and Enterprise Editions

Scality today released Zenko 1.0, its multi-cloud data management tool, in an open source and an enterprise edition. The new subscription cloud data controller builds on an earlier open source version that Scality rolled out last year.

San Francisco-based Scality, which is known for its data management software, today announced its first full release of a subscription cloud management tool.

At the Crossroads of Open Source and Open Standards [Ed: Another Linux Foundation article]

A new crop of high-value open source software projects stands ready to make a big impact in enterprise production, but structural issues like governance, IPR, and long-term maintenance plague OSS communities at every turn. Meanwhile, facing significant pressures from open source software and the industry groups that support them, standards development organizations are fighting harder than ever to retain members and publish innovative standards.
