Key highlights:

• HyperStore ‘forever live’ FL3000 series arrays provide continuous operations with no downtime

• Scale on demand from terabytes to hundreds of petabytes

• HyperStore 5.2 features self-service storage policies enabling user-level data policy management for optimized data protection and cost reduction

“As enterprise data volumes continue to explode, enabling technologies such as object storage and self-service data management are becoming key ingredients in building a more efficient and agile underlying infrastructure,” said Simon Robinson, research VP, 451 Research. “Organizations looking for a software defined storage solution need to consider a smart storage platform that not only stores the data in a scalable, cost effective way but has the ability to help enterprises large and small put data management in the hands of their people.“

“Traditionally, it was common for a business to reinvest in a new storage platform every three to five years as data needs or IT priorities changed. However, HyperStore 5.2 and the new FL3000 appliances turn that notion on its head,” said Paul Turner, CMO and technology evangelist, Cloudian. “Cloudian HyperStore is the only fully S3-compliant, multi-tenant, multi-data center solution that is ‘forever live.’ Enterprises require always-on access to business-critical data and the FL3000 series delivers on this. An enterprise can deploy once and manage its data, on its own terms, forever.“
