Encrypted messaging app Signal is rolling out a free storage system for its users, with extra space if folks are willing to pay for it. The company will gift all users 100MB of free storage for images, video, GIFs and other media from the prior 45 days of use. Signal users can choose to delete their messages after a set period. The new storage feature is opt-in to preserve that preference.
With HyperScale Edge, Commvault is specifically targeting remote locations and smaller businesses where space and IT resources are limited. Think of retail stores, branches, and distribution centers. These environments often have different needs than large data centers. The solution works with validated hardware from Dell, HPE, and Lenovo. Like the other HyperScale products, it is delivered as a software image that is easy to install. This makes implementation faster and more predictable.
