AST simplifies Cloud SAN Migration…no more headaches

It’s most likely you are already using a Storage Area Network (SAN) or some form of block level operation for your applications. We ALL know how much bandwidth and storage space these shared applications devour. With copious amounts of data continuously acquired on a regular basis, how are we supposed to continue sharing files and storing data while maintaining speed and IT costs?!

The Big Data Revolution has all of us desperately grasping for bandwidth and storage space.

Why not host our entire shared applications in the cloud?

I know, I know… there is inevitable fear of the migration and how you are going to move to Cloud SAN without significant downtime or hindered application performance. No one wants to get hounded for hours on-end when all you’re trying to do is help. Well, this is where Automated Storage Tiering (AST) comes into play.

AST continues to function just as you have seen it operate with file-based data. This go around, the automated tiering technology will simply move your data at a smaller block level. The idle data will automatically move to cloud storage.

The best part..?

With a cloud provider, you now have someone to manage the data for you! Take some weight off of your shoulders while you let the provider take care of data protection, storage and disaster recovery service. Not to mention, this is all extremely affordable too.

Too good to be true?

I think not… It’s only a matter of finding which provider will best meet your needs – because there are plenty out there! If you feel like you might want help sorting through that…we are always here. Cheers.
