The Next Evolution of CloudSoda
After years of operating side by side, CloudSoda and DataIntell are now one. The result is a unified data management platform that helps you discover, manage, orchestrate, and automate unstructured data across your edge, core, and cloud environments. Whether you’re reducing storage costs, preparing data for AI, or simplifying hybrid workflows, the new CloudSoda makes it all happen in one streamlined solution.
Why We Unified CloudSoda and DataIntell
The decision to merge CloudSoda and DataIntell wasn’t just strategic—it was inevitable. For years, the platforms complemented each other: DataIntell delivered deep visibility into unstructured data, while CloudSoda made moving that data fast, policy-driven, and cost-aware.
We had already integrated the two. We shared a vision, a customer base, and a belief that data management should be simple, intelligent, and unified. And the more we collaborated, the more clear it became—customers didn’t need two tools. They needed one.
So we made it official.
From Collaboration to Consolidation
After the merger, we kept both platforms running to ensure a smooth transition. Customers could still use them together, just as they had before—but now under one roof.
Over time, though, it became clear that managing two systems created unnecessary complexity. Separate controllers, agents, and user roles introduced friction. Tasks were duplicated. Onboarding took longer than it should.
If our mission was to simplify data management, we knew we could do better.
So we did.
A Unified Platform, Built for Action
To fully deliver on our vision of simplicity and intelligence, we didn’t just merge brands—we reimagined the experience. The result is a single, unified CloudSoda platform with two powerful, integrated modules: Data Intelligence and Data Orchestration.
Together, they give you complete visibility and full control over your unstructured data—no matter where it lives.
Data Intelligence: Discover & Assess Data
Gain deep insight into your data across edge, core, and cloud. CloudSoda’s Data Intelligence module helps you identify what data you have, where it resides, how it’s being used, and how much it’s costing you.
- Intuitive, PC-style directory with Google-style search
- Real-time file metadata and usage analytics
- Logical grouping by project or business unit
- Historical and real-time usage reporting for chargeback and billback
- Simulated “dry runs” using live price books to estimate move costs and timelines
Data Orchestration: Manage & Move Data
Take action on your data with powerful, policy-driven movement tools. CloudSoda’s Data Orchestration module moves data securely and efficiently—across any environment, at any scale.
- Streamlined UI for moves, copies, syncs, and deletions
- Native-format, encrypted transfers for business and AI workflows
- High-performance engine with multi-threading and distributed agents
- Job tracking, reporting, and audit-ready visibility
One Cohesive Experience
All of this is delivered through a cohesive experience. You can switch between modules via a shared navigation bar. Branding, language, and workflows are consistent. Configuration is unified. The learning curve is shorter.
Under the hood, it’s even simpler:
- One controller, deployable in SaaS or your data center
- One agent for both metadata indexing and data movement
- One shared configuration layer for storage systems
- One place to manage users and define RBAC roles
No more duplicate tasks. No more fragmented workflows. Just one intelligent, streamlined environment.
We also reimagined cost visibility. Our new unified Price Book feature lets you define storage and egress costs across all tiers and providers. This gives you a clear, project-level view of what it will cost to keep or move your data—so you can plan with confidence.
The unified CloudSoda platform isn’t just two tools in one. It’s a single, modern solution designed to unlock the full value of unstructured data—for AI, governance, optimization, and everyday business needs.
One More Thing: CloudSoda AI Data Assistant
The unification also paved the way for something new: CloudSoda AI Data Assistant.
This new feature lets users interact with the platform using natural language through Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT. You can ask questions like:
- “What files haven’t been accessed in the last year?”
- “How much money can I save by moving cold data to lower-cost storage?”
- “Show me all duplicate files across cloud and on-prem locations.”
And then—take action. Move files. Generate reports. Create policies. All through the assistant.
It’s designed for both technical and non-technical users. It reduces the time it takes to find answers, plan data strategies, and act on insights. And it’s just the beginning.
