Cloudian, the innovation leader in enterprise object storage systems, has launched its Data Management Partners Program. The programme combines leading data management products with Cloudian’s infinitely scalable storage to offer tested and proven solutions that enable enterprises to address current and future unstructured data growth challenges. Charter members of the programme include Rubrik, Komprise, Evolphin, and CTERA Networks.
According to Gartner’s Cool Vendors in Storage Technologies, 2017 report (May 2017), “Infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders have identified ‘managing data growth to support business demands’ as the top storage concern for 2017.”
Cloudian’s Data Management Partners Program directly addresses data centre capacity storage challenges with tested and proven solutions that consolidate multiple data silos into a single, infinitely scalable environment. The programme’s focus is to simplify data centre operations and reduce costs. Its charter programme members address various data use cases including:
• Data protection: Rubrik and Cloudian together unify and automate backup, instant recovery, replication, global indexed search, archival, compliance and copy data management into a single scale-out fabric across the data centre and public cloud.
• Data life cycle management: Komprise and Cloudian tackle one of the biggest challenges in the data centre industry, unstructured data life cycle management, with solutions that offload non-critical data that is typically 70%+ of the footprint from costly Tier-1 NAS to a limitless scalable storage pool.
• Media active archiving: Evolphin and Cloudian help media professionals address capacity-intensive formats (e.g. 4k, 8k, VR/360) with the performance to handle time-pressed workflows.
• File synch and share: CTERA Networks and Cloudian provide enterprises with tools for collaboration in capacity-rich environments.
George Crump, Senior Analyst at Storage Switzerland commented, “IT managers know the benefits of object storage solutions like Cloudian’s that can cut management workloads by 90% in capacity-intensive applications. But the question they ask is, ‘How do I get started?’ This programme makes it simple and risk-free by doing the validation up front. With this type of integration, I expect to see more enterprise users turning to object storage for their unstructured data consolidation.”
