In the Cloud, the Possibilities are Endless
What if you could…. • Test workloads in the cloud before committing CAPEX to hardware that
might not be suitable?
• Store your data in the cloud without being limited by WAN performance?
• Access cloud data through standard NAS protocols so you don’t need to re-write applications?
• Move away from a legacy NAS environment and to a next-generation hybrid cloud environment – without the pain usually associated with such a move?
• Have all the functionality of a physical DR site without the cost?
Case study: Centralised Cloud Storage
Customer Requirement:
• Store all technical data centrally for users at offices around the world to allow for collaboration and centralised QA
• Reduce NAS costs and NAS sprawl
• Delivering high performance throughput to users of seismic applications at remote offices
• Secure data
• Provide a WW Global Namespace to all users for ease of access and administration
