TwinStrata bridges the storage cloud chasm with intelligence

Adoption of cloud storage services is increasingly desirable for organizations of all sizes. A pay-as-you-go model makes sense rather than heavy capital expenditures on storage systems that won’t fill up immediately or which reach capacity too fast: storage systems that can scale up and down according to business needs rather than a pool of underutilized storage resources draining a company of data center floor-space, power and cooling. Let’s face it, storage systems are costly to acquire, maintain and expand. In the previous few years, company IT infrastructures have been constrained at best, having flat to modest IT budgets. Today, we are seeing companies face expensive technology refreshes in a still uncertain economy. In a world where storage requirements continue to double every year or two, many organizations are now looking for alternative solutions and the cloud is becoming more appealing. With the introduction of cloud storage enablement solutions for accessing the storage cloud’s affordable and dynamic resource - and its ability to seamlessly integrate with many front-line business applications, deployment of cloud storage now becomes possible. Secondary data, associated with applications such as data protection, archiving, disaster recovery and daily data management operations become an ideal match with the storage cloud. Mid-sized organizations, many cash-strapped and with minimum IT staffs, would like to adopt a cloud strategy but run into implementation roadblocks. TwinStrata is bringing to market a software solution with enterprise-class storage features that makes cloud storage transparent to the customer’s applications, hardware and systems - leaping the biggest single barrier to cloud storage use – easy to implement access to cloud services.
