Avere Adding Support for Dell EMC Elastic Cloud Storage

Avere Systems, Inc. announced support for Dell EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS), the Gartner Magic Quadrant leader in distributed file systems and object storage.

Through this support, joint customers can take advantage of object storage scalability from ECS, while using Avere FXT Edge Filers to integrate existing file-based applications and maintain storage performance.

“Today’s enterprise businesses are inundated with unstructured data that demands the capacity and scalability of private object storage. For many organizations, this means undergoing the tedious process of rewriting existing applications to support an entirely new interface, which can take years,” said Rebecca Thompson, VP marketing, Avere. “With the support of Avere FXT Edge filers, Dell EMC ECS users have the flexibility to move data between storage resources and vendors without disruption.“

ECS delivers software-defined object storage to the enterprise, empowering organizations with the distributed storage architecture needed to store large amounts of data across a number of locations. Deployed in hours, the solution is scalable and offers data resiliency to ensure data protection at massive capacity levels. FXT Edge Filers support ECS with Avere’s bi-directional translation of object APIs to NAS protocols. Using the supported solution, organizations can reap the cost and scale benefits of object storage without changes to applications.
