Software-Defined Data Fabric for the Hybrid Enterprise

Future-Proof your Data Layer

Hybrid Enterprise Data Layers Are Increasingly Complex and Insecure

Enterprises often find it challenging to keep up with the rapid proliferation and availability of various on-premise and cloud storage solutions across the organization. The result is an increasingly complex, difficult to secure, and often expensive vendor-locked ecosystem.

Legacy

Dozens of legacy systems patched together.

Lock-In

Vendor lock-in comes with significant hidden costs.

Complexity

A spaghetti of systems and responsibilities develops over time.

Cloud

Consuming public cloud efficiently and securely is not easy.

Vulnerabilities

Patchwork approaches expose enterprises to increased security vulnerabilities.

Vendor Creep

Increasingly more vendors need to be integrated.

Rigidity

The cost of uncontrolled complexity is lack of agility.

High Cost

Lack of agility increases costs and misses opportunities.

How StorageFabric™ Unifies and Secures The Hybrid Enterprise Storage Layer Painlessly

StorageFabric is the highest-performance least-friction data layer to unify, protect, migrate, and commoditize storage: in-cloud, on-prem and legacy.

It is a customer-hosted global scale-out software platform that enables enterprises to integrate, protect and unify tens of on-prem and in-cloud storage providers. It seamlessly offers unified virtual namespaces through standard APIs to enterprise users world-wide. StorageFabric frees the enterprise from expensive vendor lock-in and integration complexity, while handling the significant security vulnerabilities that come with the cloud.

Whether on-prem or in the cloud, enterprise applications and users can now focus on business logic and let StorageFabric handle the difficult bits including inter-system integration, API incompatibilities, data migration, security and integrity, vendor lock-in, etc. A full scale-out architecture enables ultra-high performance with multi-Tbps speeds.

At the end of the day, all data is fully protected even in the case of a cloud breach. The enterprise has gained unprecedented agility, costs have been slashed, and storage vendor lock-in has all but disappeared.

Case Study

Learn how StorageFabric™ solved significant integration challenges for a Fortune 25 enterprise while also saving them tens of millions. In this short video we briefly explore their path to modernize on-prem infrastructure while looking forward to increasing cloud adoption.

Major Challenges

The enterprise was faced with a veritable spaghetti of interactions between tens of legacy systems and newer tech: a dozen underlying storage systems with different APIs, handling resource provisioning, identity management, access control, logging, metering, billing, charge-back, archival and backups, as well as enforcing a wide range of enterprise policies etc. Once cloud adoption rolled in, this was compounded by the significant increase in vulnerability surface and the requirement to enforce cyber policies enterprise-wide as it extends or bursts into the cloud. Finally, the architecture needed to securely and reliably scale across many lines of business.

High Performance
StorageFabric easily scales to multi-terrabit per second (Tbps) throughputs.

Next-Gen Technology
Benefit from next-gen secure data access and intelligent traffic optimization. Deploy compression and caching when appropriate.

Global Scale Out
Designed for global scale infrastructure. Deploy efficiently enterprise-wide across multiple continents.

Integrate Existing Storage
Easily integrate existing on-prem and in-cloud storage. Access all storage using existing credentials via unified interfaces and portable virtual namespaces.

With just a few nodes, StorageFabric can handle multiple Terrabit per second throughput. This is 10-15x faster than typical stacks. Enterprise-wide footprint is near-zero, full scale-out redundant, and extremely easy to deploy e.g., in 3 minutes even for global multi-continent deployment.
