Hybrid Cloud Storage Selection

NetApp Global Data Platform (ONTAP software platform) enables customers to access data conveniently through private cloud and/or public cloud service providers. Of course, multiple cloud storage architectures complicate storage management because data is distributed and not under direct supervision. NetApp can extend the way that users implement cloud storage through a clustered DATAONTAP operating system without considering the data type and location.

Dataontap, as a single storage and data management platform, exists in the middle tier, but enables free, secure data migrations through public and private clouds. By pre-built private cloud architecture based on Flexpos, it integrates NetApp storage and Cisco network products, as well as VMware or Microsoft's private cloud, to achieve semi-automatic management.

NetApp Cloud Solutions Marketing director Adamfore says NetApp storage and software providers already have 200 cloud service providers that can connect to NetApp's private cloud infrastructure. These service providers provide infrastructure, backup, Dr and desktop and services, and so on. In addition, NetApp provides the private storage for AWS (Amazonwebservices), allowing users to realize the benefits of managing enterprise data with oversized cloud services such as EC2.

Fore says that seamless data management through cloud computing is difficult, but leveraging NetApp's common data platform and the portability of integrated data management enables the cloud provider's extended offerings to better leverage the services provided by cloud providers. NetApp has the broadest cloud ecosystem, including: cloud providers, applications, and technology partners. This allows our customers to build a hybrid cloud environment that works best for them.

EMC

Like NetApp, the EMC Federation includes: VMWARE,RSA and pivotal, integrated into the various elements of storage, software, and so on, to provide customers with the broadest range of products, solutions, and services to build a hybrid cloud.

Of course, EMC also provides a storage infrastructure for private and public clouds, as well as a VCE Vblock platform. In addition, EMC offers strategies, assessments, and real-time services related to cloud computing. Applications, EMC provides the optimal cloud application development environment through pivotal and provides an optimal cloud model consulting service.

Vmwarevcloudhybridservice is a publicly-owned cloud computing delivery model. This public cloud solution includes an enterprise virtualization environment. Service mode is Emccloudadvisoryservice.

Edwardnewman, senior manager of EMC's Global Services for cloud computing and IT infrastructure, says we see many IT organizations recognizing it as a service and offering a hybrid cloud delivery model to reduce costs to more closely meet business requirements. Traditional it lacks the key technology of virtualization. AWS (amazonwebservices) has the fastest-growing and most flexible public cloud solution, but the performance and enterprise-level reliability of a private cloud solution is less than EMC's.

Twinstrata

Twinstrata's Cloudarray can simply extend SAN and NAS, and businesses of all sizes can leverage the scalability of cloud storage to improve productivity while maintaining the performance and security of availability and local storage. Cloudarray software and hardware solutions support all file types and operating systems and have the advantage of surpassing traditional offsite storage solutions, including unlimited scalable elasticity, high-performance local storage, cloud snapshots, dynamic caching, automated policies, support for AES256 encryption, and continuous data acquisition.

Cloudarray can support concurrent multiple caching, and each cache can support fully replicated data. As a result, users can tailor a hybrid cloud storage environment to their own needs. It also includes cloud snapshot schedules, encryption, disaster recovery, bandwidth Scheduler, support for multiple types of cloud computing, and the ability to migrate data across multiple clouds. The monthly fee for the Cloudarray license is 99 dollars.

IBM

In the hybrid cloud computing market, storage automation is a big demand. IBM's Smartcloudvirtualstoragecenter (VSC) enables software definition storage (SDS). This is a storage virtualization and data management platform that enables users to seamlessly migrate to cloud storage. Can manage and protect multiple storage environments. IBM says it offers its own storage and management arrays superior to other vendors.

The platform includes Ibmtivolistorageproductivitycenter and Tivolistorageflashcopymanager. can support the FCOE protocol.
