Cloudian Certified With Quantum StorNext FlexTier

Cloudian, Inc., in enterprise object storage systems, announced Cloudian’s HyperStore has been certified with Quantum’s StorNext FlexTier.

This enables Quantum customers to tier data from Quantum StorNext to Cloudian HyperStore, thus providing limitlessly scalable, on-premises capacity expansion at about 70% less cost than traditional NAS systems.

StorNext is a multi-tier shared storage platform designed for large, data-intensive workloads. It is an industry fast streaming file system and policy-driven data management software.

FlexTier is integrated into the StorNext file system and enables policy-based tiering. Together with HyperStore, it provides access to a limitlessly scalable pool of on-premises storage for StorNext capacity expansion. Employing policy-based tools, StorNext can automatically copy or move data to HyperStore – with no scripts, programming, or manual processes. FlexTier can also be used for enhanced data protection, on-the-fly scalability, or to offload content from primary storage.

“With Cloudian HyperStore, StorNext users have a new option to cost-effectively expand their Quantum storage environment. In addition, they get a storage platform with industry-leading S3 API interoperability, thus creating new storage options for a wide range of cutting-edge S3-compatible applications that address current and future unstructured data growth challenges,” said Sanjay Jagad, senior director of products and solutions, Cloudian.

“A high-performance data infrastructure is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ – businesses need fast access in order to remain competitive,” said Laura Shepard, senior director of scale-out product marketing, Quantum. “Cloudian HyperStore is easily integrated into a StorNext-powered storage environment, giving our customers more choice and flexibility for offloading data from primary storage.“
