Leonovus Got Nutanix Certification of Smart Filer

Leonovus, Inc. announces the certification of Smart Filer on Nutanix AHV and with Nutanix Objects.

Customers have the ability to not only run Smart Filer natively on the Acropolis platform but to also use Nutanix Objects as secondary targets when offloading infrequently accessed files (cold data) from their primary storage. This platform certification provides organizations with greater control and flexibility for managing their cold data as it relates to their corporate governance and compliance mandates.

Administrators can define Smart Filer data management policies specific to each application or business use case. This allows sensitive and confidential cold data to be offloaded to Nutanix Objects while less sensitive data is offloaded to public cloud object storage, such as AWS S3, Azure Blob, and other S3-compatible storage. With Smart Filer’s data discovery and automated data management policies, organizations can adopt an optimum hybrid cloud storage approach.

Smart Filer is offered free for six months as a standalone Nutanix solution or bundled with cloud storage from several cloud service providers.

“We are committed to helping businesses with the virtual tools they need to navigate the current ‘work from home’ challenges. The certification of Smart Filer on Nutanix technologies provides data managers with another critical optimization and cost management tool,” said Michael Gaffney, Leonovus CEO.
