Cloudian HyperStore software provides cost-effective private cloud storage which deploys on commodity hardware housed within enterprise IT data centers and seamlessly integrates with the off-premises Amazon cloud infrastructure. IT managers can dynamically control bi-directional data tiering to and from Amazon S3 and Glacier at the bucket level, via bucket lifecycle rules. Bucket rules can also be set up to automatically expire objects after a predetermined amount of time or specific date.

1. Hybrid Cloud Storage with Cloudian HyperStore® and Amazon S3
NEW DATA STORAGE CHALLENGES
With the popularity of rich media, the digitization of content, and the proliferation of mobile devices, there has been
exponential growth in the amount of unstructured data that IT is tasked with managing—and the rate of this growth is
only accelerating. Traditional networked storage approaches, such as SAN and NAS, fail to meet the performance and
throughput demands of this new generation of IT as they lack the scalability, flexibility and agility which modern
business requires. In fact, whole legacy storage systems are breaking down. Backups and restores take longer.
Migration to new storage systems is labor intensive. And the list goes on and on. As a result, many enterprise
organizations are moving to hybrid IT environments, combining the flexibility and scale of the cloud with the security
and control of their on-premises IT capabilities. In this respect, Cloudian and Amazon are changing the game.
HYBRID CLOUD SOLUTION
Cloudian HyperStore software provides cost-effective
private cloud storage which deploys on commodity
hardware housed within enterprise IT data centers and
seamlessly integrates with the off-premises Amazon
cloud infrastructure. IT managers can dynamically
control bi-directional data tiering to and from Amazon
S3 and Glacier at the bucket level, via bucket lifecycle
rules. Bucket rules can also be set up to automatically
expire objects after a predetermined amount of time or
specific date.
Cloudian HyperStore’s fully compatible S3 API support
allows enterprise IT organizations to protect their
application investments by only coding once for both
on-premises and off-premises deployments.
BENEFITS
Object storage has changed the lives of enterprise
customers, saving them time and money while
increasing performance and peace of mind. Key
benefits of using Cloudian and Amazon to build hybrid
clouds include:
• Improved security and performance by using on-
premises cloud storage for critical business content
and the most cost effective and highly reliable off-
premises cloud storage for long term data archival.
• Reduced storage management cost by eliminating
backups, volume/LUN management, costly data
migrations, etc.
• A wide choice of Amazon S3-compatible
applications, ranging from backup and recovery to
file sync and share, and archiving.
• Improved business elasticity, as storage capacity
grows along with data growth as organizations start
small (terabytes) and expand (petabytes).
• Balanced cost and service level agreements (SLAs)
using the flexible S3 bucket lifecycle policies.
