SoftNAS Cloud NAS® for Amazon EC2
SoftNAS® for Amazon EC2 provides flexible, full-featured storage capabilities for trusted cloud computing applications.
Amazon EC2 Cloud Storage Solutions
SoftNAS® for EC2 can leverage flexible Elastic IP addresses or Virtual IP addresses, making it fast and easy to fail over across availability zones and regions (i.e., different data centers). It’s also straightforward to quickly replicate a SoftNAS instance from one availability zone to other geographic region so that data is always available and performs well for geographically local users and communities.
And because SoftNAS® for EC2 uses Elastic Block Storage (EBS) for raw data storage, backup and restore operations are fast and easy.
The Amazon EC2 cloud computing environment, which will be referred to simply as EC2 hereinafter, is a robust, powerful virtualization and computing system with many options and capabilities. For our purposes here, we will focus on installing SoftNAS® and configuring it for basic use. Additional options exist for increasing performance and throughput, for databases and other more demanding applications, which will also be covered briefly.
This section provides concepts that may be helpful for the first-time Amazon EC2 customer along with useful guidelines for making decisions about how to configure SoftNAS® for best results in the EC2 computing environment.
