Many organizations are trying to reduce the cost of their existing file storage by archiving their inactive or cold data to private cloud storage while dedicating NAS systems on-premises to critical data. However, traditional cloud archive and array- based tiering solutions force IT teams to change existing processes or implement forklift data migrations, creating risk and complexity.
The InfiniteIO and SwiftStack hybrid cloud solution helps customers delay or eliminate the need for additional primary storage capacity. InfiniteIO can slash the existing NAS footprint up to 80% by identifying hidden, cold files and moving them to a massively scalable SwiftStack cloud. Customers can reclaim tier-1 NAS capacity without changing any existing workflows, storage configurations or IT operations.
InfiniteIO offloads metadata requests and migrates cold data from existing NAS to SwiftStack, while making files appear and perform as though they are still on primary storage.
InfiniteIO installs simply like a network switch – with no downtime or workflow changes.
Instantly and automatically migrate files to SwiftStack cloud storage without continually rescanning NAS systems.
Offloading metadata requests enables legacy NAS to perform like flash while reducing latency for cloud file access.
Reduce backup time, capacity and cost by offloading metadata requests from backup application and using SwiftStack as a resource for archive and retrieval.
Make files available for use, even if they have been inactive for decades, by transparently presenting them as local storage regardless of physical location.
Gain real-time insight to improve and automate management for your hybrid cloud storage infrastructure.
Scales to billions of files regardless of capacity on a single system.
IInfiniteIO’s system-based pricing avoids unnecessary capacity-based data management fees even as file or capacity counts grow over years.
Download the Infinite Insight hybrid cloud storage assessment tool to quickly identify hidden, cold data in your real-world environment and visualize opportunities to save up to 80% in storage costs.
