Transparently migrates the last 20 years of
inactive enterprise data to low-cost cloud storage with no changes
to applications or the user experience
infinite io today announced the NSC-110, the world’s first
network-based storage controller. With the NSC-110, enterprises
will be able to transparently integrate cloud storage into existing
applications, dramatically lowering the cost of storing inactive
data and extending the investment already made in existing
application infrastructure and operational procedures.
“By putting storage controller intelligence into the network
we’ve liberated data from dependence on physical location and
big-box storage systems,” said Mark Cree, infinite io’s CEO.
“Imagine the cost savings and flexibility of migrating the last 20
years of inactive enterprise data off expensive primary storage to
a public or private cloud, where it can be securely stored with
familiar always-on access for a fraction of the cost.”
infinite io makes cloud storage adoption totally
transparent
Unlike all other enterprise cloud storage solutions, the NSC-110
does not require applications to be re-provisioned or storage to be
virtualized with new file paths. The NSC-110 installs transparently
in front of existing storage, migrating inactive data to the cloud
in real-time based on policies that align with business
objectives.
“Just when I thought I’d seen everything I was ever going to see
in storage, something cool comes along!” said Steve Duplessie,
Founder and Senior Analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG).
“infinite io has taken a completely different approach to cloud
integration by essentially putting a big storage brain directly
into the network – which opens up endless possibilities.”
Advanced analytics calculate expected savings
When installed in passive mode, the NSC-110 uses industry
standard storage costs and information collected from the installed
environment to calculate expected savings.
IT managers can simulate a cloud storage deployment and collect
real-world usage analytics with no risk to their data and no
systems downtime.
infinite io increases the performance of onsite
storage
When operating in active mode, the NSC-110 makes onsite storage
faster by serving it out of flash memory from a reduced local file
storage footprint. IT managers get the best of both worlds:
low-cost capacity and high-performance.
Availability and pricing
The NSC-110 is currently in beta testing and is planned to be
released during Q3 2015. Please contact us if you’d like a
risk-free analysis of a real-world cloud storage deployment in your
environment.
Pricing starts at $50,000 and varies by configuration.
