InformationWeek’s Startup 50 is a list of the top 50 business technology startups selected by InformationWeek readers and editors.

As the industry’s first software-only solution that can be downloaded from the web and applied to any standard Linux platform, PCS enables hundreds of commodity servers to be clustered together to act as a storage grid with massive capacity and parallel throughput. By combining ParaScale clustered storage software and buyer selected standard servers, managed service providers can build different types of public clouds and offer a variety of storage cloud services, while enterprises can start small and build their own private, corporate clouds inside their own firewall. “ParaScale is committed to enabling the enterprise or service provider to build enormous storage pools on commodity hardware at an affordable cost with software deployments that can start at several terabytes and easily scale capacity and performance as needed,” said Sajai Krishnan, CEO, ParaScale, Inc. “The fact that we are named to InformationWeek’s Startup 50 list is a testament to our ability to cost-effectively store and manage huge amounts of unstructured data in a unique solution that combines clustering software with the power and economies of standard Linux servers.” “It was difficult to limit ourselves to 50 startups because there’s a lot of exciting companies out there,” said Andrew Conry-Murray, Business Editor, InformationWeek. “That said, we believe the InformationWeek Startup 50 have innovative solutions to critical business problems and are worthy of enterprise consideration.” InformationWeek editors and readers identified young companies that are ready to address the critical challenges facing the enterprise.
