Whether you are a service provider or a company considering to provide cloud services using cloud services, building an internal private cloud, or even allow a hybrid cloud, it may seem that there is a very large number of things to consider: Network, Compute, storage, virtualization, cloud Orchestration, APIs, deployment costs, hardware costs. And the list continues.
In Cloudian, we believe that the first and most critical decision to make is about your cloud storage system. Why? The storage systems are essential to enable hybrid cloud and cloud migration, and storage systems must guarantee the reliability of the cloud system. Storage can be an important element for all IT budgets and through scale technology, storage technology objects and the hybrid cloud model, storage costs can be reduced.
cloud hybrid models still needed and there are many reasons why. But now with the advent of cloud storage platforms that are easy to install, support the standard S3 API de facto industry from Amazon, and the price is in the spirit of the cloud model, the storage system, a key component of the hybrid model is available and accessible to the company and all cloud services providers.
Until now, companies have developed their applications to the Amazon cloud and leverage its performance effect, availability and APIs from the beginning, found it difficult to draw workloads and applications in their own data center once they have reached the scale. The same companies that have built private clouds to traditional IT workloads have found complex and expensive to use external cloud services whenever they need additional or temporary capacity.
Now, with platforms like Cloudian, if you are an existing user Amazon you can quickly and inexpensively build your private cloud with full confidence that workloads will migrate easily. Similarly, if you are a service provider, you can now build Storage-as-a-Service (Staas) quickly and inexpensively with the confidence that you have access to an existing market and can provide all the applications and tools found in the Amazonian ecosystem. And to ensure there are no obstacles based on the cost to entry, now offers Cloudian is fully featured Community Edition free for systems up to 100TB.
