Enterprises continue to struggle with managing vast amounts of data, including backups. Research conducted by The Taneja Group, found that 41 percent of planned public cloud workloads target backups1. Cloud backup is one of the fastest growing technologies being adopted. According to Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Storage Technology, 2017, “backup of data generated natively in public cloud is an emerging requirement as cloud providers only offer infrastructure high availability and disaster recovery, but are not responsible for application or user data loss.”2

SoftNAS Essentials with patent pending ObjFast™ technology accelerates object storage I/O performance to near the levels of native cloud block storage, but at a significantly lower cost. Enterprises can deploy SoftNAS Essentials flexibly, either on-premises or via public cloud providers to achieve superior TCO for secondary data: cloud backup, disaster recovery and cloud archive repositories.

“What’s really innovative is how this solution enables mounting a cloud-based NFS backup repository from on-premises, overcoming the usual performance gaps with slow cloud gateways and making Veeam synthetic full merges fly in the cloud. We are proud to be partnering with Veeam and delivering cutting-edge multi-cloud solutions that enable our customers to move more data to the cloud,” said Rick Braddy, CEO, CTO, and Founder of SoftNAS.

Veeam and SoftNAS enable customers to protect their cloud deployments and extend the benefits of on-premises storage to the public cloud. SoftNAS Essentials customers can leverage Veeam to create an always-on enterprise NAS that achieves near block storage performance using object storage.

“We welcome SoftNAS as a valued member of the Veeam Alliance Partner program. This membership means customers can take full advantage of SoftNAS software-defined cloud NAS filer capabilities via public clouds,” said Carey Stanton, VP Global Business and Corporate Development at Veeam Software. “By joining the Veeam Ready program in addition to the Veeam Alliance Partner program, SoftNAS is working with Veeam to develop technologies that can transform customers’ environments.”

Thousands of businesses including public, private, and global organizations, including many of the Fortune 2000, use SoftNAS to migrate business and SaaS applications to the cloud, consolidate file servers and for backup storage. A free 30-day trial version of SoftNAS is available for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and VMware.

“The public cloud destination for backup storage makes more sense than ever with off-site data protection being a best practice,” said John-Marc Clark, SoftNAS VP of Marketing. “We are thrilled to help Veeam formulate a cloud validation process for Veeam Ready Archive that leverages our extensive experience with AWS and Azure.”

“As a Veeam partner, Relus is seeing a surge in requests for ways to ensure Veeam backup copies can be done reliably, fast and cost effectively. We hear constantly that customers are overflowing with on-premises data and come to us to help move their on-prem VMware backups on Veeam safely offsite to AWS. SoftNAS Essentials and Veeam make it possible to backup SMB and enterprise-size secondary storage jobs leveraging Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). This opens a host of application and cloud data migration and storage projects to AWS which also require professional services expertise,” said Mike Ostrowski, Senior Vice President Cloud Delivery, Relus Cloud.

Data growth is expected to reach over 163 zettabytes by 2025 according to analyst firm IDC.3 “With so much growth, organizations are looking to the cloud as an elastic way to store and process their data, and increasingly in a multi-cloud environment. But customers often lack an integrated view across their data storage resources and services. Building a unified view of data across a diverse set of IT platforms is a key need today, and addressing this will enable businesses to more effectively derive value from their data,” stated Deepak Mohan, Research Director, Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service, IDC.

Ultra-fast, flexible, and easy hybrid cloud integration worldwide is now possible

Houston, TX–SoftNAS introduces the industry’s first truly cloud-native, 100% software-centric data management platform for full-spectrum control of any data, any cloud, anywhere.

The SoftNAS Data Platform bridges newer cloud operating systems, like AWS and Azure, with existing on-premises application stacks and SaaS systems to make hybrid cloud design and deployment ultra-fast, flexible and easy. Expanding on its leadership position as the #1 best-selling Cloud NAS, SoftNAS’ new CloudFabric™ architecture enables enterprises to design, configure, control, integrate, manage and store any kind of data in the cloud. These multi-cloud capabilities encompass premises-based, public cloud, private cloud, SaaS, Internet of Things, and hybrid cloud configurations, delivered as subscription-based, software-defined services.

“SoftNAS has raised the bar with the advent of their upcoming hybrid cloud data product lineup. Many of the advanced features will be available for SoftNAS customers to try out in beta release, with the 3.6 release of SoftNAS Enterprise product edition. Most impressive is the integration of Apache NiFi and a cloud native, hybrid cloud data product allowing customers to create their own data flows, processes and templates, effectively ingesting and transforming any type of data. Other impressive beta features are secure and easy data migration from on-premises systems to various cloud platforms at accelerated network speeds across WANs and the Internet. SoftNAS is making it much easier for businesses to take control over their data, no matter where it resides,” said Arun Taneja, Taneja Group.

Data growth is expected to reach over 163 zettabytes by 2025 according to analyst firm IDC.* “With so much growth, organizations are looking to the cloud as an elastic way to store and process their data, and increasingly in a multi-cloud environment. But customers often lack an integrated view across their data storage resources and services. Building a unified view of data across a diverse set of IT platforms is a key need today, and addressing this will enable businesses to more effectively derive value from their data,” stated Deepak Mohan, Research Director, Public Cloud Infrastructure as a Service, IDC.

The new SoftNAS Platinum product is the centerpiece of the company’s hybrid cloud strategy. SoftNAS Platinum is a hybrid cloud data platform for moving business data, overcoming network latency issues among remote offices and factories globally, and managing numerous data types including IoT integration. A preview of SoftNAS Platinum beta features is now available. Existing customers that have upgraded to SoftNAS version 3.6 can access the beta features from the SoftNAS StorageCenter™. 

“SoftNAS speeds cloud adoption by simplifying Lift and Shift cloud migrations and accelerating bulk movement of any data to any cloud with its innovative UltraFast™ and FlexFiles™ technologies,” said Rick Braddy, CEO, CTO, and Founder of SoftNAS. “By turning hybrid cloud data integration into an ultra-fast, flexible, and easy drag-and-drop configuration process, customers can design and configure instead of redesign and redevelop. And UltraFast flattens the Internet and WAN, making global data access and bulk movement possible at near LAN speeds. It’s exciting to finally be delivering on our mission to be the fabric for business data in the cloud after years in the making. Our cloud fabric is real, it’s 100% software-based and ready to launch and try today for free.”

by | News Releases

MOUNT LAUREL, NJ  — Talon, the leading provider of enterprise class file sharing solutions for distributed locations, today announced its strategic partnership with SoftNAS®, the #1 best-selling software-defined cloud NAS, to enable true global storage consolidation into the enterprise cloud. Talon FAST™ and SoftNAS Cloud NAS provide joint customers with a central cloud-based storage namespace that is secure, highly resilient, and can grow on-demand, ensuring high performance global file locking, file access and sharing for all users across the global enterprise.

Global enterprises are increasingly looking for opportunities to leverage the scale and flexibility of the cloud, and one of the key targets for exploitation remains unstructured data stores. The combination of Talon and SoftNAS offerings deliver a petabyte scale topology for distributed file servers to be consolidated into limitless, highly-available cloud storage, reducing both cost and risk while increasing business agility.

Talon FAST™ enables a global fabric, which gives virtually any enterprise location the ability to seamlessly access and use cloud-resident file shares as they traditionally have on-premises file servers, without changing user experience or workflow. The combination of a powerful distributed network file system, intelligent caching and global locking allows globally distributed enterprises to operate under a central storage system view while keeping the storage centralized and lightweight at the edge. This ability to ‘centralize’ data has large benefits as enterprises decommission costly-to-maintain file servers around the globe. Talon FAST™ optimizes the flow of information in the enterprise, enabling all offices to work off the same set of data.

SoftNAS Cloud NAS presents virtually limitless, highly resilient data shares in the enterprise cloud, allowing seamless data access to existing applications without requiring application rewrites. SoftNAS gives its customers the enterprise-class data security, protection, and performance required to safely, predictably, and reliably operate IT systems and applications. Under this partnership, Talon FAST™ users will utilize the capabilities of SoftNAS filer as the main repository for unstructured data in the cloud.

“As enterprises move from an on-premises to a cloud-first strategy, key goals that we see include ensuring that applications don’t need to change prematurely, that users aren’t negatively impacted, and that they have the levels of security and scale needed to grow,” stated William Fellows, VP of Research, 451 Research. “The combination of Talon and SoftNAS targets those objectives directly.”

The Talon and SoftNAS collaboration can provide organizations with a single software-defined storage footprint, versus the legacy distributed storage architecture which requires localized management, backup, security, and audit for the proprietary hardware footprint in each location.

“Customers want a software-based solution that bridges the cloud and premises storage gaps, delivering efficient, global access to an extensible namespace that scales into the petabytes, while leveraging the low costs and high durability of cloud storage,” stated Rick Braddy, CEO, CTO and Founder of SoftNAS. “The alliance with Talon allows our customers to fully leverage our HA cloud NAS across the broader enterprise, bridging the long tail of IT with the new cloud frontier.”

“Customers with globally distributed locations will benefit significantly from having a central point of storage management and control,” said Shirish Phatak, CEO, Talon. “Partnering with SoftNAS provides us with an additional tool in our toolkit for offering a powerful, efficient and scalable storage management solution.”

Talon FAST™ is available as a site based annual subscription or as a joint offering with Microsoft Azure Storage and Hybrid Cloud solutions in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

SoftNAS is available as an annual subscription and on-demand in Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.
