SoftNAS Now Available on CenturyLink Cloud Marketplace

by | Webinars

Today, SoftNAS announced SoftNAS for CenturyLink. This integration allows customers of the CenturyLink Cloud platform faster backup and archival, expanded platform support and the ability to extend storage investments and shared file storage for VMware VSAN.

The SoftNAS provides access for CenturyLink Cloud customers to a complete software-defined solution for on-premise, hybrid and public cloud storage to manage the costly expenses around backing up expansive data and the time required to archive older data. Local caching and S3 object storage connectivity make SoftNAS ideal for enterprises, SMBs and departments using on-premise storage and for service providers offering hybrid cloud services, such as backup and archival solutions.

In addition to providing gateway capabilities, SoftNAS surpasses the singular gateway concept by combining three key components:

  • Access to on-premise and private cloud storage, including SAN, VSAN and S3-compatible object storage
  • Access to public cloud storage, including block and S3-compatible object storage
  • A unified shared file system with NAS filer features accessed via NFS and CIFS/SMB

SoftNAS Cloud File Gateway enables on-premise and hybrid cloud storage deployment as a unified shared file system to maximize cost savings and flexibility.

S3 compatible object storage is the de facto standard for storing data in the cloud, whether you are using AWS, Cloudian, NetApp StorageGRID, or any of the other popular public clouds. At the same time, many SAN, backup, and other products do not interface directly with S3 compatible object storage.
