Storj, a leader in distributed cloud infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership with TenrecX, a technology advisory and solutions firm that helps organizations simplify IT acquisition and deployment. Through this partnership, TenrecX will resell Storj’s enterprise-grade distributed cloud platform, including highly scalable object storage, a file mount client for object storage, and storage-optimized compute for data-intensive workloads. Together, Storj and TenrecX help enterprise IT and business leaders cut through complexity and modernize with confidence by adopting modern storage and compute architectures with greater speed, clarity, and control.
This collaboration brings together Storj’s cost-effective distributed cloud platform with TenrecX’s consultative procurement and implementation approach, giving organizations both architectural choice and trusted guidance.
Helping enterprise IT leaders modernize without hyperscaler complexity.
Today’s technology buyers face a crowded marketplace of cloud services, each with complex pricing, delivery models, and hidden tradeoffs. For organizations seeking to modernize storage and compute strategies — whether for backup and archive, AI/ML workflows, analytics, or scalable production systems — too many options can actually slow progress.
TenrecX exists to cut through that complexity. As technology advisors, they help clients navigate vendor offerings, tailor solutions to business needs, and negotiate the right terms — without unnecessary fees or lock-in.
By reselling Storj’s solutions to their clients, TenrecX now enables organizations to adopt a distributed cloud architecture that delivers:
- S3-compatible Object Storage that scales predictably without hyperscaler lock-in.
- Object Mount, a file mount client for object storage that enables seamless file-based access to object data.
- Cloud Compute that keeps data accessible where workloads run — reducing latency, egress costs, and operational complexity.
- Enterprise-grade security and governance, including SOC 2 Type II compliance.
This is not just a product resell. It is a strategic modernization path supported by expert advisory services.
Why this partnership matters.
Addressing hyperscaler fatigue.
Enterprise IT teams are under growing pressure from hyperscaler pricing models that penalize scale through egress fees, replication costs, and complex tiering structures. Meanwhile, lower-cost storage alternatives often lack the performance, resilience, and enterprise security required for production workloads.
TenrecX sought a platform that materially reduces cost without compromising performance or enterprise standards. Storj is the first distributed cloud alternative TenrecX has identified to deliver this balance at enterprise scale.
With Storj, organizations can achieve up to 80% lower storage costs compared to traditional hyperscalers while gaining:
- Higher performance, including up to 40% faster downloads on average.
- 99.95%+ availability.
- 11 nines (99.999999999%) of durability.
- Enterprise-grade security and governance, including SOC 2 Type II compliance.
This is not budget storage. It is a modern distributed cloud platform built for data-intensive environments, designed for both incremental adoption and full-scale modernization.
A phased modernization path.
Modernization doesn’t have to be disruptive.
With Storj, organizations can begin with S3-compatible Object Storage for archive, regional, or global workloads — gaining predictable pricing without hyperscaler lock-in.
As access patterns expand, Object Mount enables seamless file-based access to object data, eliminating the need to copy or stage datasets.
When performance-sensitive workloads emerge — including analytics, AI/ML pipelines, or compute-intensive production systems — Cloud Compute can be positioned near data, reducing latency, minimizing egress costs, and simplifying architecture.
This phased approach allows enterprises to modernize incrementally, without disruptive migrations or architectural rework.
For enterprise IT leaders and solution architects.
This architecture is purpose-built for teams managing data-intensive workloads that require predictable cost, performance, and flexibility without hyperscaler dependency.
Together, these capabilities are well suited for use cases such as:
- Long-term backup and active archive with predictable pricing.
- Data lakes and analytics workloads requiring scalable access.
- AI/ML pipelines and compute-intensive jobs that must efficiently access large datasets.
Through TenrecX’s advisory-led model, organizations gain more than infrastructure. They gain a clear modernization strategy, guided deployment, and long-term operational alignment.
Leadership perspectives.
R.W. Holleman, CRO, Storj:
“We’re excited to partner with TenrecX to bring Storj’s distributed cloud storage and storage-optimized compute architecture to a wider set of organizations. TenrecX’s consultative model aligns with our belief that customers succeed when they have choice, transparency, and strategic guidance.”
Bill Santos, Co-Founder, TenrecX:
“Customers are tired of one-size-fits-all solutions, and hyperscalers are often too expensive. Storj is the first alternative to hyperscalers that TenrecX has found to help their customers reduce costs while maintaining and improving performance and security. With Storj’s flexible, high-performance infrastructure, we can recommend and deliver a modern storage and compute platform that meets our clients where they are and scales with their business.”
