When we first developed the CloudSoda platform, our mission was clear: simplify unstructured data management and empower organizations of all sizes with expert-level storage capabilities. We aimed to eliminate the complexity of managing massive volumes of unstructured data, offering a solution that could provide deep insights while remaining intuitive for users without extensive storage expertise.
The challenge? Organizations were struggling with increasing data sprawl across hybrid environments, leading to inefficiencies, soaring costs, and time-consuming manual processes. While CloudSoda’s platform streamlined data movement and management, users still faced a learning curve when navigating complex storage questions or optimizing data placement in real-time.
CloudSoda’s strength lies in three core principles:
- Storage technology agnosticism – Seamlessly integrating across storage vendors and environments.
- Powerful file metadata indexing engine – Providing deep visibility into unstructured data.
- Effortless data mobility – Enabling native-format data migration across any source and destination.
Traditionally, storage optimization required teams of software developers and administrators to manually analyze data, generate reports, and adjust storage strategies. But what if businesses could instantly get the answers they need, optimize data usage, and automate complex storage tasks—just by asking a question?
Embracing AI: Transforming Our Business and Our Product
CloudSoda’s journey with AI began over two years ago when we started leveraging AI-driven tools like ChatGPT for internal processes. It quickly became evident that AI was not just an efficiency booster—it was reshaping how businesses operate.
Today, we use AI to:
- Accelerate content creation, from blog posts to trade show materials.
- Automate the compilation of release notes.
- Streamline our internal workflows and decision-making processes.
The rapid evolution of AI models has unlocked new possibilities, making it easier than ever to process complex queries, analyze massive datasets, and generate meaningful insights. AI’s ability to connect with diverse data sources—including CRMs, file systems, and unstructured storage indexes—means businesses can now get tailored, data-driven recommendations in seconds.
