There’s lots of buzz in the storage industry about the cloud. To date, however, the cloud has been impractical for most primary applications because the high-latency WAN connection between the cloud providers and the cloud clients has resulted in poor performance. That’s where Avere comes in…
Avere’s NAS Optimization enables using the cloud for primary applications. The Avere FXT Series uses intelligent tiering to automatically store active data near the client, eliminating the latency of the WAN. Customers are using our cloud solution in four data access scenarios:
1) Remote Office to Datacenter: Data storage is consolidated in a centralized datacenter and Avere is used at the edge to provide low-latency access to remote users.
2) Datacenter to Datacenter: Avere enables compute resources to be shared across multiple datacenters by automatically placing the data actively being processed near the compute nodes and eliminating the WAN latency between the datacenters.
3) Enterprise to Compute Cloud: Enterprises are deploying lower cost compute infrastructures, both in private cloud and public cloud models, by co-locating Avere clusters with the compute nodes to automatically tier and store the active data.
4) Enterprise to Storage Cloud: Avere enables storage clouds for primary applications by placing Avere clusters near the clients, whether in a datacenter, a remote office, or a cloud compute facility, to automatically tier and store the data that the client is actively using.
