SoftNAS® Delivers Ability to Manage Data EverywhereSoftNAS, the #1 best-selling software-based NAS in the cloud, today announced SoftNAS® CloudFabric™ and SoftNAS® UltraFast™, along with the SoftNAS® CloudFabric™ Architecture™, a complete enterprise data management platform and toolset designed to control, manage and accelerate movement of diverse data across geographically dispersed locations. SoftNAS offers a new software-based data migration, replication, and integration (DMRI) platform to efficiently ingest, migrate, replicate, manage, transform, share and control data more simply - achieving results 5-20 times faster than legacy methods without additional programming. This Smart News Release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150930005494/en/ As more applications and data move outside the corporate data center, enterprises lack full resources to re-engineer their applications and data flows, creating islands of data that are complex, time-consuming, and expensive to integrate exacerbating data security and protection risks. Legacy solutions have required the cobbling together of multiple point products, leading to increased costs, complexities and support risks, at a time when enterprises expect maximum agility, flexibility and responsiveness from IT. With SoftNAS® CloudFabric Architect™, a component of CloudFabric, IT administrators use visual drag and drop operations (similar to Visio®) to configure complex data migration, replication and integrations, managed and controlled by SoftNAS® CloudFabric DataManager™, a robust data management platform. Global enterprises that are plagued by latency, congestion, poor QoS (Quality of Service), and slow data replication across geographically dispersed branch offices, remote offices and factories can sign up for the CloudFabric Tech Preview, which will be available during Q4 2015. "In many organizations, as much as 50% of data now resides in the cloud. At the same time, there are 10 times as many daa types as there were just a few years ago. New applications have caused larger and larger datasets to be created. This perfect storm of dispersed location, additional data types, data sovereignty concerns and explosive data growth makes it imperative for organizations to understand exactly where their data resides. Data no longer exists only or even predominantly in the data center," according to Alan Dayley and Garth Landers, Gartner (News - Alert).1 Disparate Systems across Clouds and Locations SoftNAS CloudFabric overcomes legacy proprietary and vendor-specific data formats that limit data movement and flexibility.
"While technology advances in cloud, SaaS, web services, Big Data and IoT affords numerous advantages, enterprise IT is not equipped with the necessary tools to properly integrate and leverage the technologies together quickly enough to fully capitalize," commented Rick Braddy, CEO and CTO, SoftNAS. "SoftNAS delivers the portable, software-defined tools that can be rapidly deployed to accelerate adoption, quickly break through the barriers and achieve the flexibility and agility business leaders are expecting from their IT and DevOps teams today."
