Pink Elephant Delivers Sovereign, Energy-Efficient Data Resilience with Quantum ActiveScale Cold Storage

The Challenge
As data volumes continue to grow, Pink Elephant needed a sovereign, highly available, and cost-efficient storage platform to support long-term data retention for customers with strict regulatory and availability requirements.
