Komprise announced new capabilities for its
Komprise Intelligent Data Management solution in Microsoft Azure. Customers can
now migrate file data to Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files and manage the
lifecycle of files in Azure NetApp Files volumes.
By using Komprise Intelligent Data
Management, customers can migrate file workloads to the cloud more than 27 times faster than with other solutions. They can
also reduce cloud network attached storage (NAS) by 70 percent by transparently archiving cold data
from Azure NetApp Files to various Azure Blob storage classes. Komprise's
Transparent Move TechnologyTM (TMT) enables archived data to be viewed as files,
native objects, or both. These new capabilities now allow Komprise to deliver
the same on-premises NAS data management features to cloud-enabled NAS.
"Customers are increasingly looking to run
traditional file workloads in the cloud, especially with the rapid pace of
digital transformation happening across businesses right now," said Krishna
Subramanian, COO at Komprise. "Our mission is to ensure that every company can
reduce costs and gain performance on its data, no matter where it lives,
through analytics-driven data management."
Karl Rautenstrauch, Principal Program
Manager, Azure Storage at Microsoft Corp. said, "Data portability and lifecycle
management is increasingly important to customers, and solutions like Microsoft
Azure with Komprise offer the options they demand."
"At Carhartt, we are transforming to a
cloud-first strategy using Microsoft Azure, and we wanted to reduce storage and
backup costs for our Digital Asset Management data," said Earl Williams, System
Engineer at Carhartt. "By using Komprise,
we were able to identify that 60 percent of our data was cold, and we have now
been able to transparently archive it to lower-cost Azure Blob storage."
