Analysis and Integration
Migrating data to the cloud can be complex, particularly when deciding what data to move and understanding long-term costs. Autodata Analytics analyses your existing storage to identify data age, usage, capacity and potential migration costs and savings, giving you a clear business case for Hybrid Cloud storage.
Our solution then integrates seamlessly with your existing environment, with no need to change user workflows. Frequently accessed data remains local, while suitable data is moved securely to cloud storage using file stubbing.
Users continue to see and access files in their usual location, while the original data is stored in the cloud and automatically retrieved when needed.
Storage Control
Autodata’s Hybrid Cloud Storage solution gives you control over when data is replicated to the cloud and when space is reclaimed from on-premise storage.
Files can be replicated immediately for additional data protection, or automatically moved based on your chosen policies. You can decide when to reclaim on-premise storage capacity, whether immediately, at a set time or when capacity reaches a defined level.
One Monthly Payment
Autodata Hybrid Cloud Storage is charged purely on the amount of storage in the cloud repository at £7.99 per TB per month. There is no charge for management, ingress, egress or API fees. As such, combined with Autodata Analytics, the costs are easy to predict with no surprises.
By fully integrating the cloud tier with on-premise storage, you are able to scale out data to the cloud that doesn’t require a high IOPS, low latency connection on-premise but still maintain access to use and store these files natively within the same environment you currently use, or implement new hardware and software to further reduce costs.
Moving to the cloud can look expensive, hence why it’s always advised to look at the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) including all the “Soft Costs” (power, cooling, management, warranties, etc) as well as “Hard Costs” (physical infrastructure and on-premise software and/or cloud storage and compute costs per month). With our right-sizing strategy, Hard Costs are typically reduced by over 50% and Soft Costs by 80%.
Get Cloud Right with Autodata Hybrid Cloud Storage. Not only does it provide an increase in performance, security, manageability, reliability and functionality, but a reduction in price across the board.
