Boundless Unstructured Data Storage

Problem

Industry consensus is that roughly 80% of all stored data is unstructured and growing 40% to 50% annually. Compounding this, many organizations must retain data for years, if not decades. As a result, most unstructured, stored data is infrequently accessed or “cold”. This cold data makes it difficult and expensive to entirely satisfy storage needs with on-premises storage infrastructure.

Impacts

Storage infrastructure procurement must not only consider today’s needs, but storage requirements years from now.
Most relatively expensive, high performance on-premises storage infrastructure is consumed by cold data.
Organizations have no easy way to characterize their data, leading to highly inefficient and costly “one size fits all” data management.
Organizations want to adopt cloud storage services, but are concerned about migrating data without affecting users and ensuring data remains secure.

Solution

Leonovus Smart Filer provides transparent analytics and data management that allows you to automatically tier file data to secondary or cloud storage with no negative effects to users. Smart Filer can also be used with Leonovus Vault to tier data to multiple clouds.

Leonovus Vault allows you to leverage cloud storage along with on-premises storage infrastructure to address your ever-growing data efficiently and securely, without cloud vendor lock-in.

Multi-Cloud Flexibility

Leonovus lets you maximize the benefits of adopting a hybrid multi-cloud strategy while minimizing the challenges in doing so.

Seamless Data Migration

To benefit from the constant change in cloud storage offerings, you need the flexibility to adopt new cloud services that meet your evolving needs, to leverage the most competitive storage services, and to avoid cloud vendor lock-in.

Highly Efficient Data Protection

Data is the lifeblood of your organization. Leonovus Vault leverages hybrid and multi-cloud architectures to ensure that you never lose your data and you can always access it.

Automated Policy-Based Off-Load

Leonovus removes the complexity associated with file server refreshes. Leonovus automatically and transparently migrates all, or a subset, of data on old file storage infrastructure to new storage. Off loading infrequently accessed (“cold”) data to inexpensive cloud storage lets you right-size purchases of more expensive, higher performance file storage infrastructure to match your needs.

Transparent Data Access

You maintain the same access to your files, regardless of whether they have been migrated to secondary or cloud storage. All file metadata is preserved, but problematic “stub files” are avoided.

Benefits

Address ever-growing storage needs with access to limitless capacity
Automate tiering of cold data to cheaper storage
Manage data with no negative effects to users
