StorONE announced S1:Azure,
which is available immediately. S1:Azure is the only storage solution
that minimizes the total cost of ownership (TCO) of Azure storage while
also reducing the customer's entire Azure investment, making the cloud
more affordable.
"We
are pleased to see the StorONE offering available to Azure customers.
It provides organizations the ability to seamlessly move existing
applications to Azure cloud and continue to benefit from the enterprise
feature set they deploy on-premises, like snapshots, auto-tiering, and
replication. StorONE has done an outstanding job of testing and
validation to bring a solution to Azure that enhances our platform
without sacrificing the performance or reliability that customers need,"
said Karl Rautenstrauch, Principal Program Manager for Azure Storage at
Microsoft.
S1:Azure Use Cases
S1:Azure
is a cloud enterprise storage solution that runs natively on Azure
Infrastructure. Customers can create cost-effective Cloud DR and archive
for on-premises workloads. They can leverage its platform capabilities
to create a hybrid cloud to navigate sudden peak demands by returning
only changed data back on-premises. They can leverage maximum data
protection to confidently migrate block (iSCSI) and file applications
(NFS/SMB) to run permanently in Azure.
"I
am delighted to partner with Microsoft to bring the advantages of
StorONE technology to Azure users. StorONE is the only storage company
that delivers an Enterprise Storage Platform with maximum data
protection at a minimum TCO," said Gal Naor, CEO and Co-Founder of
StorONE.
Four Keys to Minimum Azure TCO
S1:Azure powers cloud applications with a minimum TCO across their entire Azure investment:
- S1:Azure
minimizes Azure TCO by delivering high performance from compute
instances that are significantly less expensive and require less memory
than competing solutions.
- S1:Azure supports all Azure Managed Disks and automatically moves inactive data to lower-cost tiers.
- Organizations can also quickly and safely power down unneeded S1:Azure instances when not in use.
- S1:Azure
is a platform, not a point solution. Instead of forcing customers to
purchase and operate multiple cloud storage solutions, it consolidates
databases and applications via iSCSI and unstructured data via
NFS/SMB/S3.
Maximum Data Protection
S1:Azure lowers Azure TCO while providing maximum data protection. S1:Azure includes StorONE's industry best snapshot technology at
no additional charge. Cloud Operators can apply unlimited, frequent,
and space-efficient snapshots for backup, ransomware protection, and
versioning of mission-critical data. StorONE's cascading replication
continuously updates DR copies in other Azure regions or on-premises.
Maximum data protection enables moving to the cloud with complete
confidence.
S1:Azure is available in the Azure Marketplace today.
