Every organization in the current environment is looking to do more with less while reducing cost. The rising cost of on-premises storage is a pain point that we are pleased to tackle in collaboration with Komprise. Since Komprise tiers data to Microsoft Azure in native readable format and provides data workflows, customers can cut costs and leverage the full power of Azure services to address AI, big data, security and compliance use cases.

Why Komprise Intelligent Tiering for Azure:

————-

Get Visibility Across Storage Silos Quickly

• Analyze billions of files across any file and object storage (including NetApp, Dell EMC, Windows, Pure Storage) without having to move any data. Quickly gain visibility across all your file and object storage — on- prem or in private or public clouds — so you know how much data you have, what types, who’s using it and how fast data volumes are growing. Identify where your hot data should go, and how much you can save by transparently tiering cold data from your datacenter to Azure and by managing the data lifecycle within Azure.

Tier Data to Azure to Cut 70% Costs

• Cut 70% of your file storage, backup and DR costs by tiering cold data that has not been accessed in months from any NAS to Azure Blob.

Automate Unstructured Data Management

• If you are running file data in higher-performing Azure Files or popular cloud NAS such as Azure NetApp Files (ANF), use Komprise Intelligent Tiering for Azure to tier data to Azure Blob automatically as it ages, by policy.

Keep Users and Apps Happy

• Leverage Azure cloud services without any data access disruption for users or applications. Komprise Intelligent Tiering for Azure transparently tiers files, so they appear where and how they always have, even though they’re now stored as objects. In addition, Komprise leaves the active data and control paths unchanged, so access to hot data is unaffected.

Avoid Lock-In with Open Standards

• Komprise manages data across your storage without the use of stubs or agents, which add complexity and create vendor lock-in. Instead, Komprise uses open protocols, such as NFS, SMB, and REST/Object, so you stay in control of your data when it’s moved across storage solutions.
