LAS VEGAS, May 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EMC WORLD -- Virtustream, the
enterprise-class cloud provider and an EMC Federation company,
today announced the launch of Virtustream® Storage
Cloud, a global cloud storage platform offering enterprise-levels
of resiliency and performance combined with true Web scale.
Resilient, Enterprise-Class Cloud Storage Platform
Virtustream Storage Cloud is built for the world's largest
enterprises, service providers, and public sector organizations,
which need to secure, manage, and store mission-critical data in
the cloud.
Virtustream Storage Cloud provides a hyper-scale storage
platform with enterprise-class resiliency and performance. This new
platform has been extensively tested, with underlying elements
running successfully in production for several years as the primary
object storage platform for a select set of customers managing
multiple Exabytes of data, with hundreds of billions of objects
under management and an event monitoring system that processes more
than 35 billion events per day.
The new Virtustream Storage Cloud offering builds from this
hardened and customer-tested base. In addition to availability as a
Web-scale object storage platform, Virtustream Storage Cloud
provides seamless cloud extensibility for on-premises
EMC® storage, providing customers with simple and
efficient tiering, long-term backup retention, and cold storage in
the cloud, with single-source EMC support.
Virtustream Storage Cloud has been designed from the ground up
to support a complete range of enterprise use cases.
Key features include:
- Engineered-in resiliency delivering up to 13 x 9s of data
durability
- Architected and optimized for performance, particularly for
large object sizes
- Available read-after-failure provides resiliency and data
integrity even in case of single site failure
- Seamless extensibility of on-premises primary storage and
backup to the cloud
EMC offerings that plan to support the platform include:
- EMC Data Domain: Using Data Domain® Cloud
Tier, automatically move backup data directly from EMC protection
storage to Virtustream Storage Cloud for seamless, cost effective
long-term backup retention.
- EMC Data Protection Suite™: Tier backup data from EMC
protection software to Virtustream Storage Cloud for long-term
backup retention.
- EMC VMAX®, XtremIO® and Unity™
Systems: Tier data to the cloud to reduce on-site primary
storage footprint while maintaining optimal performance through on
premise client-side caching and Virtustream Storage Cloud.
- EMC Isilon: Archive cold data to the cloud using on
premises Isilon® CloudPools policies to govern the
placement and retention of tiered files to Virtustream Storage
Cloud.
Additionally, organizations soon will be able to deploy
Web-scale object storage for cloud-native applications, leveraging
a simple, S3-compatible application programming interface.
"Enterprises are generating exponentially-growing data and
looking for cost-effective strategies for long-term backup
retention and archival storage, in addition to seeking resilient,
cost-effective and scalable platforms for cloud-native application
data," said Rodney Rogers, Chief
Executive Officer at Virtustream. "Virtustream Storage Cloud will
provide a scalable, enterprise-class platform to meet our
customers' cloud storage needs for both second and third platform
applications."
"Any modern data center must extend seamlessly to the cloud,
which is why we're making cloud connectivity and cloud tiering an
inherent capability of all of our products," said Jeremy Burton, President, Products and
Marketing, EMC Corporation. "With
Virtustream Storage Cloud, and the cloud capabilities in our
storage products, we're able to offer our customers even more
choice: they can tier to an EMC managed public cloud, EMC private
cloud or third-party public cloud of their choice."
