Hybrid Cloud Storage with Cloudian HyperStore® and Amazon S3

NEW DATA STORAGE CHALLENGES

With the popularity of rich media, the digitization of content, and the proliferation of mobile devices, there has beenexponential growth in the amount of unstructured data that IT is tasked with managing—and the rate of this growth isonly accelerating. Traditional networked storage approaches, such as SAN and NAS, fail to meet the performance andthroughput demands of this new generation of IT as they lack the scalability, flexibility and agility which modernbusiness requires. In fact, whole legacy storage systems are breaking down. Backups and restores take longer.Migration to new storage systems is labor intensive. And the list goes on and on. As a result, many enterpriseorganizations are moving to hybrid IT environments, combining the flexibility and scale of the cloud with the securityand control of their on-premises IT capabilities. In this respect, Cloudian and Amazon are changing the game.

HYBRID CLOUD SOLUTION

Cloudian HyperStore software provides cost-effectiveprivate cloud storage which deploys on commodityhardware housed within enterprise IT data centers andseamlessly integrates with the off-premises Amazoncloud infrastructure. IT managers can dynamicallycontrol bi-directional data tiering to and from AmazonS3 and Glacier at the bucket level, via bucket lifecyclerules. Bucket rules can also be set up to automaticallyexpire objects after a predetermined amount of time orspecific date.

Cloudian HyperStore’s fully compatible S3 API supportallows enterprise IT organizations to protect theirapplication investments by only coding once for bothon-premises and off-premises deployments.

BENEFITS

Object storage has changed the lives of enterprisecustomers, saving them time and money whileincreasing performance and peace of mind. Keybenefits of using Cloudian and Amazon to build hybridclouds include:

• Improved security and performance by using on-premises cloud storage for critical business contentand the most cost effective and highly reliable off-premises cloud storage for long term data archival.

• Reduced storage management cost by eliminatingbackups, volume/LUN management, costly datamigrations, etc.

• A wide choice of Amazon S3-compatibleapplications, ranging from backup and recovery tofile sync and share, and archiving.

• Improved business elasticity, as storage capacitygrows along with data growth as organizations startsmall (terabytes) and expand (petabytes).

• Balanced cost and service level agreements (SLAs)using the flexible S3 bucket lifecycle policies.
