TwinStrata’s breakthrough cloud storage enablement software (CES) adds intelligence to the storage cloud.
CloudArray provides comprehensive CSE in the form of enterprise-class storage features that enable delivery of cost-effective and
seamlessly managed cloud storage services optimized for performance, availability and elastic storage capacity.
Seamless Integration with Applications, Physical
and Virtual Servers
CloudArray software enables businesses to seamlessly
and securely integrate existing business applications to
cloud storage without any changes to applications or
programming of cloud provider APIs (Application
Programming Interface). CloudArray supports
applications running on both physical and virtual
servers.
Cloud Storage Volumes
CloudArray volume policies for caching and replication
allow data to be cached locally for quick access and
replicated to Cloud storage for high availability.
CloudArray provides data snapshot services for
point-in-time copies for rollback, test development,
data analytics and for other applications.
CloudArray volumes can be configured to be partially
cached or up to 100% cached, depending upon the
application. This allows for consistent copies of volumes
in two separate locations; local to your data center and
in the Cloud (private or public).
Today’s Data Management Challenge
The integrity and availability of data, especially higher value
data related to business critical applications, matters more
than ever. Why? Companies rely more than ever on IT for
operational process and to gain competitive business
advantages in a global economy. As a result, storage related
solutions matter even more, and need to easily and quickly
scale to accommodate requirements of data doubling every
year or two.
These solutions should not require capital intensive upgrades
when capacity limits are reached. They must support
multiple data formats for all types of business applications. In
addition, companies should understand the impact of an
application outage will have on each line-of-business or on
the company as a whole in order to implement appropriate
data recovery operations.
Data Availability and Security
For increased data protection and to ensure high data availability, CloudArray offers data copy policies that replicate data across
local storage and a variety of third party storage cloud providers. CloudArray also enables replication between service providers.
CloudArray compresses and encrypts data prior to transporting it to public cloud storage to ensure data security and privacy.
CloudArray leverages the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), adopted by the U.S. government and also used to secure top secret
information.
