Solution Brief

CloudSoda & NetApp StorageGRID

In today’s data-driven landscape, organizations across industries face significant challenges in managing unstructured data across various storage silos and the cloud. With continuous data growth, the need for intelligent file and object management has become paramount. Reliable and high-speed access patterns are essential for cost prediction and budget control, but balancing data across the right storage tiers can introduce complexity.
Data protection, including cloud hybrid strategies and multi-site safeguards, is critical for business operations. To address these challenges, efficient data management software capable of spanning file and object storage, analyzing data, and intelligently predicting the cost and time of data transfers is essential.

Unleashing Synergy: CloudSoda and NetApp StorageGRID
Seamlessly moving files to object storage and vice versa can be a significant challenge for applications that are not S3 ready. CloudSoda simplifies this process by inspecting files on tier-one storage, allowing users to make intelligent decisions about data movement to StorageGRID for protection and multi-site access. If a second copy in the cloud is required, CloudSoda can create copies or migrate data to the public cloud, providing insights into transfer costs and times.

Whether data retrieval or a tiered strategy with the cloud is needed, CloudSoda offers insights into restore costs, ensuring a clear understanding of transfer duration and expenses. CloudSoda’s policy engine and filtering capabilities simplify data transfer automation for data access protection and archiving.

Furthermore, CloudSoda seamlessly integrates with StorageGRID for multi-site data protection and access, offering unlimited data movement between NAS/SAN, StorageGRID, and the public cloud, all at a fixed monthly cost, making budgeting predictable.

How CloudSoda and NetApp StorageGRID Work Together
CloudSoda’s comprehensive platform empowers data management, analysis, and optimization in both cloud and on-premises environments. It provides unprecedented control over the entire storage ecosystem, offering features such as data acceleration with dynamic threading and scanning, multi-part, and UDP file/object acceleration. Users can perform data movement from edge to core to the cloud and back, accessing any storage through agents compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac.

As requirements evolve, organizations can adjust policies and realign their data landscapes. Enterprises benefit from the flexibility of deploying StorageGRID as either an enterprise-grade turnkey solution or a software-only solution on physical or virtual servers, with the option to use heterogeneous storage underneath.
