Cloudian announced planned support for the new AWS Outposts servers, enabling
customers to expand their Outposts use cases with Cloudian's HyperStore
S3-compatible object storage.
Cloudian's storage software and appliances provide limitless on-prem capacity for workloads that require local data residency and
low-latency data access. Today's announcement follows HyperStore achieving
AWS Service Ready designation for the Outposts rack in June and reflects the
two companies' increased collaboration.
With Cloudian's upcoming
offering, customers will be able to deploy HyperStore alongside their Outposts servers in 1U and 2U configurations. In addition,
customers will have the option to run Cloudian software directly on the
Outposts 2U, utilizing the device's underlying direct attached storage media.
The new AWS Outposts are
rack-mountable devices in compact servers, making them particularly beneficial
to organizations with limited space or smaller capacity
requirements, such as retail stores, financial and legal services branch
offices, healthcare providers and factory floors.
In addition to providing fully
native S3 API compatibility, other key Cloudian HyperStore benefits include:
- Modular, limitless scalability:
Increase capacity without interruption simply by adding devices to the
cluster.
- Data residency: Store all data
locally, ensuring compliance with data governance regulations.
- Low latency: Access data
locally from Cloudian's all-flash or HDD-based storage for optimized
performance.
- Geo-distribution: Manage data
globally across multiple sites within a single namespace,
- Data immutability for ransomware
protection and compliance: Employ Amazon S3 Object Lock to prevent
cybercriminals from encrypting data-enabling quick, easy recovery of an
unencrypted backup copy without paying ransom-and also to meet governance
and legal hold demands.
- Robust security: Further protect data
through secure shell, integrated firewall,
RBAC/IAM access controls, AES-256 server-side encryption for data
at rest and SSL for data in transit-all in a platform certified with U.S.
Department of Defense, SEC Rule 17a-4(f), FINRA Rule 4511, and CFTC Rule
1.31(c)-(d) security requirements.
- Hybrid cloud-readiness: Leverage
replication and policy-based data tiering to Amazon S3.
- Advanced metadata tagging: Accelerate
data searches and more easily integrate with AI/ML/analytics applications.
"Customers are looking for better
ways to store and manage their data across the enterprise as part of a
comprehensive digitization initiative," said Joshua Burgin, general manager,
AWS Outposts, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "With Cloudian HyperStore for AWS
Outposts, customers can benefit from a comprehensive data management solution
for any application in their own environment, on AWS Outposts, or in AWS
Regions, for a truly consistent hybrid experience."
"As users
increasingly deploy modern applications on-premises, they need a modern storage
foundation to support these applications," said Jon Toor, chief marketing
officer, Cloudian. "Cloudian's HyperStore object storage provides this
foundation, giving them the scalability and flexibility of a public cloud while
ensuring they can fully control and secure their data and quickly access it
whenever and wherever required."
