Komprise Adds Migration Capabilities for Intelligent Data Management Solution in Azure

Komprise, Inc. announced new capabilities for its Intelligent Data Management solution in Microsoft Azure.

Customers can now migrate file data to Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files and manage the lifecycle of files in Azure NetApp Files volumes.

By using the company’s Intelligent Data Management, customers can migrate file workloads to the cloud more than 27x faster than with other solutions. They can also reduce cloud NAS by 70% by transparently archiving cold data from Azure NetApp Files to various Azure Blob storage classes. The firm’s Transparent Move Technology (TMT) enables archived data to be viewed as files, native objects, or both. These capabilities now allow the company to deliver the same on-premises NAS data management features to cloud-enabled NAS.

“Customers are increasingly looking to run traditional file workloads in the cloud, especially with the rapid pace of digital transformation happening across businesses right now,” said Krishna Subramanian, COO. “Our mission is to ensure that every company can reduce costs and gain performance on its data, no matter where it lives, through analytics-driven data management.“

Karl Rautenstrauch, principal program manager, Azure storage, Microsoft Corp. said: “Data portability and lifecycle management is increasingly important to customers, and solutions like Microsoft Azure with Komprise offer the options they demand.“

“At Carhartt, we are transforming to a cloud-first strategy using Microsoft Azure, and we wanted to reduce storage and backup costs for our Digital Asset Management data,” said Earl Williams, system engineer, Carhartt. “By using Komprise, we were able to identify that 60% of our data was cold, and we have now been able to transparently archive it to lower-cost Azure Blob storage.“

Komprise is co-sell ready with Microsoft
The company has achieved co-sell ready status through the Microsoft One Commercial Partner program. The firm is also available in the Azure Marketplace and is collaborating with Microsoft partners and sales organization to deliver unstructured data management on Azure. Companies that achieve co-sell ready status are provided sales and marketing support by aligning with the global Microsoft salesforce to help drive new business and expand market reach.
