Spectra Logic announced
several enhancements to
Spectra
Vail, a multi-cloud data management software, that
further enriches Vail's ability to combine any storage into a single global
namespace -- delivering universal access and placement of data across
multi-site and multi-cloud storage no matter where the data resides. Spectra
Vail centralizes
data management across on-premises and multi-cloud architectures, simplifying
the access, sharing, usage and protection of data.
Delivering policy-based data
orchestration, Vail streamlines workflows and reduces overall costs and
complexities for organizations that want to leverage the power of the cloud.
With Vail and Vail-enabled BlackPearl
S3, organizations can take full advantage of cloud services -- no matter where
data is created or located, whether in the cloud or on-premises.
New Vail Enhancements
Provide:
-
The
industry's only fully qualified on-premises glacier-like* solution that enables
any software with an S3 interface to have direct access to local tape or
nearline object storage with the use of S3 glacier-like commands that mimic AWS
-
Simple
S3 disk and S3 glacier tape to modernize data protection and backup
applications
-
Flexible
implementation of either a global cloud-based object database for universal
access or a local on-premises object database for optimized performance
-
Support
for AWS Object Lock using on-premises storage targets to protect data against
ransomware and malicious activity
-
Direct
integration of any cloud services, including artificial intelligence and
machine learning (AI/ML), with on-premises data using intelligent object synchronization
-
Scheduled
and instant data placement and orchestration using lifecycle rules and staging
interfaces
-
Global
object placement and visibility to optimize the performance, economics and
location of data
"Today's data-driven
organizations are generating, sharing, and protecting petabytes of data both
locally and in the cloud to solve some of the world's biggest challenges," said
David
Feller, Spectra Logic vice president of product management and solutions
engineering. "Vail elegantly manages data globally, providing universal access
and data placement while offering a seamless connection to multiple sites and
clouds. Organizations can focus on the value and usage of data while still
meeting corporate cloud-first directives and lowering total cost of ownership."
