StorSimple Offers New Generation of Cloud-based Storage Appliances for Enterprises

By Kerry Doyle, Contributing Writer


After a minor or major disaster, restoring data to either the repaired hardware or to hardware located in an entirely new data center is a relatively straightforward process. The question that must be asked is, if archived data is on-site and a local disaster, such as fire or flood occurs destroying data in the process, what will a company do? Cloud-based storage technologies and server virtualization have mainly been employed by large enterprises to safeguard data. And these cloud-based storage solutions are gradually changing the landscape of storage and disaster recovery (DR).


Now even faster cloud storage processes are becoming the norm. StorSimple, a leader in cloud-integrated enterprise storage for Windows and VMware environments, has introduced its newest appliances that include an expanded set of enterprise-level operational and management capabilities Performance enhancements in cloud data management provide up to 100x faster cloud-based disaster recovery compared to traditional backup in the cloud.

According to Ursheet Parikh, StorSimple co-founder and CEO, “A wide range of Fortune 1000 enterprises across verticals like retail, oil and gas, manufacturing, services, consumer goods, healthcare and banking as well as government customers have done their first storage deployments on public clouds using StorSimple. For these customers, the choice comes down to continuing status quo or working to leverage the cloud, and this disruption has led to the emergence of the cloud-integrated enterprise storage market segment. We are leading this disruption with our award-winning products that integrate the cloud with enterprise storage infrastructure and processes.”

In terms of adopting effective storage and DR procedures, careful planning and management support is necessary. Since DR is not primarily about the technology (it is about business value), it’s important for IT or administrators to clearly express to management what downtime means in terms of revenue loss. By combining SAN storage and cloud data management on an enterprise-class platform, these appliances enable new levels of speed, simplicity and reliability for backup and recovery while reducing both primary and data protection costs. 

The capability of cloud-based storage to combine SANs and cloud data management combined with the new StorSimple appliances enable new levels of speed, simplicity and reliability for backup and recovery while reducing both primary and data protection costs. Cloud-based technologies, especially storage, are gradually changing the landscape of high availability and DR for enterprises. The new StorSimple appliances provide up to 100TB of usable local storage, and include higher capacity controllers with NVRAM support, along with software optimizations that offer an order of magnitude performance increase over previous versions and increased local storage capacity with enterprise SSD and SAS (News - Alert).
