infinite io Became an IBM PartnerWorld Member

infinite io, Inc., a developer of network-based storage controllers, announced has become an IBM PartnerWorld member.

As data growth rates have exploded, the single largest expense in the datacenter is the storage of inactive or cold data. With the typical datacenter doubling its storage capacity every twenty-four months, the expense of keeping inactive data on traditional primary storage has become almost insurmountable for most enterprises.

Cloud storage provides the low-cost platform for storing inactive data. Unfortunately, cloud storage adoption has been slowed by the complex task of migrating traditional file-based workflows to and from the cloud.

infinite io’s network-based storage controllers transparently migrate inactive file data to IBM Cloud Storage and IBM Cloud Object Storage (iCOS) while preserving always-on attributes and metadata that make migrated data appear local and ready for immediate recall.

infinite io installs like a network switch and continuously migrates data to and from connected clouds based on IT-defined policies. Unlike other solutions that require gateways, application changes, host software, stub files, and complex new file systems, Here enterprises can complement their existing systems with a cloud or object storage, all with zero workflow changes.
