With such advancements as Smart Restore, Direct Download, Persisted Client Meta-data and an unified, Comprehensive Dashboard, this release clearly establishes the product’s role as a multi-cloud data controller.

These features of the multi-cloud data controller accelerate the enterprise’s journey to the cloud; improving efficiencies, reducing costs and eliminating complexities encountered in navigating the increasingly complex cloud landscape. Re-asserting the enterprise’s control over its data while maintaining the flexibility and longevity required by governance and regulation, the company eliminates cloud-vendor lock-in and enhances cross-cloud migration.

This release of multi-cloud data controller is also a foundational component of the firm’ strategy to ‘Uberize’ global cloud services for the enterprise and paves the way for the realization of the Galaxa Marketplace.

Smart Restore allows customers to prioritize the storage providers from which fragments will be retrieved when restoring data. This preferential reconstitution allows the enterprise to tune their policies according to their own priorities for example cost reduction or enhanced performance.

Direct download integration transparency, eliminating the need for clients to be AWS S3 lifecycle management aware. It also accelerates content restoration to near-line speeds.

Persisted Client Metadata offers a cloud-neutral mechanism across multiple clouds to associate and persist client generated metadata with the content it describes. With this capability Leonovus enables the secure application of complex, multi-dimensional data classification. This results in support for broader and integrations with data management, data classification and data analytics apps, by providing secure storage of content with corresponding analytics tags.

The dashboard simplifies operations for IT administrators in a multi-cloud environment. This single pane of glass interface clarifies and eases the management of on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud storage, offering orchestration and cross-cloud policy management. It extends security and governance controls across the entire infrastructure while increasing flexibility and reducing complexity – constraining loss and liability due to human factors when managing data over the long term. Such cross-cloud controls offer multi-faceted data protection including elevated data durability, availability, confidentiality and integrity via configurable erasure coding and distribution, customer-controlled encryption key management and WORM locking. Identity and access management are also addressed independent of the multi-cloud footprint, through the enhanced dashboard.

“Going all-in with a single service provider could be an easy choice at the beginning but a huge risk in the long term“, says thought Enrico Signoretti, industry analyst, “Leonovus has a compelling solution that associates a multi-cloud data controller with a strong set of security features.“

In today’s dynamic and evolving cloud landscape, it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict, assess and control costs associated not only with the storage of data but accessing it as well.

“Whereas, initially, cloud storage appears to be very compelling from the perspective of lower cost and increased agility, many organizations neglect the impacts of cloud complexities and the costs of data egress fees associated with accessing the data,” said Michael Gaffney, chairman and CEO. “Our multi-cloud data controller with Smart Restore allows customers to keep costs in check by prioritizing retrieval of data from storage providers with lower or no data egress fees, while still benefiting from the lower storage cost and stronger availability, security and durability offered by a multi-cloud storage approach. With Smart Restore, we believe the Leonovus solution is even more uniquely positioned to enable customers to navigate the complexities of cloud storage costs.“
