Elastifile,
the pioneer of enterprise-grade, scalable file storage for the public
cloud, today announced enhanced support for API-based access to Elastifile Cloud File Service,
the company's fully-managed, scalable file storage service on Google
Cloud. The enhanced service API allows users to fully automate use of
cloud file storage to optimize a broad range of workflows including: SAP
infrastructure, electronic design automation (EDA), HPC processing,
Kubernetes deployments, and more.
As
enterprises increasingly integrate cloud resources, the workflows
supporting critical business processes must evolve to maximize the
capabilities of flexible, cloud-based infrastructure-as-a-service
(IaaS). Effectively managing dynamic, interdependent cloud resources
often relies on the ability to perform complex tasks quickly,
efficiently, and without the need for manual intervention. As a result,
API-based automation has emerged as a crucial enabler for
high-productivity cloud workflows. With enterprise file storage
recognized as a key element of cloud application infrastructure,
corresponding API-based storage management capabilities are necessary to
deliver the required workflow automation.
Via
Elastifile's enhanced service API, users can programmatically control
the deployment, management, and scaling of Elastifile Cloud File
Service...thus enabling dynamic alignment of storage capacity and
performance to suit the needs of associated applications. Additional
features and functionality supported by Elastifile's enhanced API
include snapshots, access-control lists (ACLs), and enterprise
high-availability features.
"Cloud-based
automation represents a massive opportunity to simplify enterprise IT,"
said Adi Sprachman, Vice President of Product Management at Elastifile.
"With Elastifile's enhanced API, we've delivered complete, programmatic
control over scalable, cloud-native file storage, enabling
fully-automated, turnkey data management."
The
enhanced API for Elastifile Cloud File Service further complements
Elastifile's robust portfolio of cloud-native data management
technologies, including support for automated container orchestration
via Elastifile's container storage interface (CSI) driver and automated
data tiering to object storage via Elastifile ClearTier.
Elastifile
is generally available on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web
Services (AWS), and bare metal on-premises environments, with Microsoft
Azure availability coming soon.
