Elastifile Becoming SAP PartnerEdge Program

Elastifile Ltd has become a SAP PartnerEdge Open Ecosystem – Build partner, further strengthening the synergistic bonds between its enterprise-grade, cloud-native file storage and the cloud application suite from SAP.

As organizations seek to excel in the cloud era, public cloud integration has emerged as a crucial element of a winning IT strategy. The cloud’s elasticity, scalability, and flexible consumption models are a perfect match for the agility required by the competitive modern enterprise. SAP, via its suite of cloud-hosted business applications, has harnessed the best attributes of cloud to enable flexible business process flows and powerful analytics. However, to deliver robust end-to-end solutions, the associated applications require an equally flexible, highly-available data management layer.

Elastifile’s storage services satisfy those cloud requirements without introducing cumbersome management complexity. SAP users can connect their cloud-based applications to Elastifile file storage in the cloud, just as they would if running those applications on-premises and connecting to a physical storage array.

In addition, organizations seeking a completely turnkey experience can deploy Elastifile as a fully-managed storage service on Google Cloud by signing up for early access at https://www.elastifile.com/early-access-gcp. Firm’s storage solutions have enabled many enterprise customers in their journey to cloud and the new Open Ecosystem – Build partnership paves the way for deeper integration with SAP workflows.

“SAP has made cloud infrastructure accessible to the core business processes of the data-driven modern enterprise,” said Dave Payne, VP alliances, Elastifile. “Elastifile is proud to complement SAP’s solutions with reliable, cloud-native file storage…thereby enabling smooth, end-to-end migration of SAP workflows to cloud.“

To ease enterprise cloud adoption, Elastifile was designed to deliver the feature set, flexibility, and cost-efficiency to support customers at every stage of their cloud journey. Whether starting off with simple cloud backup/archival, bursting to cloud for additional compute, or executing a wholesale lift and shift to cloud, Company’s solutions allow customers to reap the benefits of cloud integration, at their own pace. In addition, by delivering file storage via standard protocols (e.g. NFS), with no need for OS kernel modifications or client-side software installs, the vendor provides native compatibility with existing applications and workflows, eliminating the need for costly refactoring projects.

Elastifile runs natively on public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and is available on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), AWS, with Azure availability coming soon. It also supports bare metal on-premises environments.
