New Solution Unifies File and Object Storage, Extending Amazon S3 Compatible Storage to the Network Edge, Delivering Powerful Application Performance for AI and Other Data-Driven Processes

BOSTON, MA – March 14, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Nasuni, a leading hybrid cloud storage solution, announces the general availability of Nasuni Edge for Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), a cloud-native, distributed solution that allows enterprises to accelerate data access and delivery times while ensuring low-latency access that is crucial for edge workloads, including cloud-based artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) applications, all through a single, unified platform.

Amazon S3 is an object storage service from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 supports petabyte-sized workloads and allows customers to run S3-compatible storage that supports select S3 APIs on AWS Outposts, AWS Local Zones, and customers’ on-premises environments. The unique Nasuni cloud-native architecture is designed to improve performance and accelerate business processes.

Immediate file access is essential across various industries, including manufacturing, real estate, engineering, construction, and healthcare, where remote facilities with limited bandwidth generate large volumes of data that must be quickly processed and ingested into Amazon S3. In addition, increasingly, customers are looking for a unified platform for both file and object data access and protection, enabling them to address small and large-scale projects with on-prem and cloud-centric workloads through a single offering.

“Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 provides us with the capability to seamlessly interact with Nasuni,” said Alex Serban, Senior Manager of Site Reliability and Operations at Electronic Arts. “This approach to engaging with Nasuni not only enhances our operational efficiency, but also establishes a standardized process. The potential of Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 becomes evident in its ability to boost performance, speeding software build distribution to teams around the globe. This improvement is instrumental in accelerating the delivery of games to the global market.”

With an influx of large volumes of data, simplified storage is a priority for any business looking to collect and quickly process data at the edge in 2024. Forrester Research expects 80 percent of new data pipelines in 2024 will be built for ingesting, processing, and storing unstructured data. Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 is specifically designed for IT professionals, infrastructure managers, IT architects, and ITOps teams who want to improve application performance and data-driven workflow processes. It enables application developers to read and write using the Amazon S3 API to a global namespace backed by an Amazon S3 bucket from multiple endpoints located within AWS Local Zones, AWS Outposts, and on-premises environments.

Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 enhances data access in the following ways:

  • Local performance at the edge: Customers can now deploy Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 wherever high performance with low latency is required, in AWS Local Zones, on AWS Outposts, or in customers’ self-managed on-premises environments. Local caching via Nasuni provides LAN-like performance to meet application owner and user expectations.
  • Multi-protocol read/write scenarios: Access to data often requires other protocols beyond Amazon S3, usually Server Message Block (SMB) or Network File System (NFS). Nasuni provides multi-protocol flexibility that facilitates a wide range of application access.
  • Support for more file metadata: Nasuni extends file management scenarios where classification and compliance are important by supporting an extended number of tags, the number of characters in tags, and the size of file metadata.

“Nasuni has been a long-time AWS partner, and this latest collaboration delivers the simplest solution for modernizing an enterprise’s existing file infrastructure. With Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3, enterprises can support legacy workloads and take advantage of modern Amazon S3-based applications,” said David Grant, President, Nasuni. “Nasuni Edge for Amazon S3 allows an organization to make unstructured data easily available to cloud-based AI services.”

In addition to providing fast access to a single, globally accessible namespace, the ability to ingest large amounts of data into a single location drives potential new opportunities for customer innovation and powerful new insights via integration with third-party AI services. Importantly, Nasuni’s multi-protocol support means these new data workloads are accessible from a vast range of existing applications without having to rewrite them.

Bocada’s new SaaS edition provides backup professionals with easy “pay-as-you-go” backup monitoring and reporting

SEATTLE, WA – March 13, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Bocada LLC has launched Bocada Cloud, the first-ever SaaS edition of Bocada’s category-leading backup monitoring software.

Built on the same data collection and normalization engine as Bocada Enterprise, Bocada’s flagship installed edition, Bocada Cloud extends enterprise-grade data protection monitoring to MSPs and businesses of all sizes via a “pay-as-you-go” software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery model.

Users can sign up for a free account, connect their backup servers, and begin using Bocada Cloud’s single-pane dashboard and detailed reports in just minutes. Users who want to monitor more than 25 resources (e.g. servers, clients, virtual machines) can easily upgrade to the standard plan, whereupon they will begin to pay monthly for any resources above the free 25 resource tier.

Because of Bocada Cloud’s “pay-as-you-go” consumption-based model, there is no need for an annual contract, making it easy for data protection operators to get started.

At launch, Bocada Cloud supports more than 15 backup products, including Veeam B&R, Veeam for Office 365, AWS Backup, Azure Backup, Druva, Rubrik, Cohesity, Commvault, and NetBackup. (See the full list). More connectors are being added every month.

“We have seen how challenging it can be for MSPs and mid-sized companies to manage their data protection environments,” explains Matt Hall, CEO of Bocada. “Bocada Cloud can provide any organization with an immediate understanding of backup health across their environment, enabling optimal data protection and efficient SLA compliance reporting.

“As market disruption inevitably happens in the data protection space due to vendor consolidation or natural ebb and flow, our customers depend on Bocada to maintain future-proof control of their dynamic data protection environments. Bocada Cloud makes this attainable for many more organizations.”

In contrast to Bocada Enterprise, Bocada Cloud eschews some of its installed counterpart’s enterprise-focused capabilities (compare the editions), focusing instead on making essential backup monitoring and reporting automation easy for any organization. Bocada will continue to invest in both products to maintain category leadership in the enterprise market (with Bocada Enterprise) and build market leadership in new customer segments with Bocada Cloud.

Bocada Cloud is available immediately for new signups.

Employee satisfaction fuels company’s product innovation in AI

SAN MATEO, CA – March 13, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Alluxio, the data platform company for all data-driven workloads, is honored to announce its inclusion for the second consecutive year as one of Forbes’ “America’s Best Startup Employers.” Alluxio placed 368 on Forbes’ “America’s Best Startup Employers 2024” list which ranked the 500 top startup companies displaying excellence across employer reputation, employee satisfaction and growth. This accolade underscores Alluxio’s dedication to nurturing a vibrant work culture that propels the future of data and AI innovation.

“Alluxio’s recognition on the Forbes list of America’s Best Startup Employers underscores how our commitment to cultivating an environment conducive to employee satisfaction fuels product innovation, particularly in pioneering domains like AI,” said Haoyuan Li, Founder and CEO, Alluxio. “At Alluxio, our employees are at the center of our customer-first culture, driving our dedication to excellence and innovation. It is a great honor to be included on this list for a second year in a row.”

In recognition of Alluxio’s culture of product innovation, CRN recently named Alluxio Enterprise AI, a new high-performance data platform for AI and ML workloads, to its list of the 10 Hottest Big Data Tools in 2023.

The Forbes Best Startup Employers list is the fifth such ranking done between Forbes and Statista, to identify 3,000 privately-held companies that are headquartered in the United States, employ more than 50 people, and were founded between 2014 and 2021. Each startup must also have been started from scratch, as opposed to being a spinoff of a larger corporation. The companies were then evaluated based on three primary criteria: company reputation, employee satisfaction and growth. Millions of data points were used to determine each company’s score, and the 500 startups with the highest scores made the final list.

To assess employer reputation, Statista reviewed articles, blogs and social media posts about each employer, searching for such phrases as “corporate culture” and “employee engagement.” Text analysis was used to categorize those phrases as positive, negative or neutral. Statista evaluated employee satisfaction through online reviews, employee retention rates, and company policies relating to topics such as diversity and inclusion, parental leave, and workplace flexibility. Growth was assessed by examining the organizations’ website traffic, job openings, and head counts over a two-year period. The final list ranked the top 500 employers.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – March 12, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world’s most advanced data storage technologies and services, announced that Empresas Berríos, the largest furniture store in Puerto Rico and the biggest distribution center in Central America, is leveraging Pure Storage’s portfolio to achieve scalability and drive business growth, while advancing service innovation for its customers.

Customer Challenge:
Berríos strives to be Puerto Rico’s leader in furniture and household goods with its quality of service, product variety, price, and ease of financing. Today, the company is embracing cutting-edge technologies to further enhance its customer experience, from in-store tablets for sales teams, to advanced inventory systems, and actionable analytics driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

To better position itself for scalability, business growth, and innovation, Berríos needed to modernize its IT environment, with a heightened emphasis on IT agility and financial flexibility to meet dynamic customer needs. Additionally, situated in a region prone to natural disasters and escalating ransomware threats, Berríos recognized the need to implement advanced business continuity and data protection plans to safeguard operations and ensure uninterrupted service delivery to its valued clientele.

Customer Impact:
Berríos adopted Pure Storage to fuel this modernization, gaining the scalability to innovate and expand without worrying about service reliability or cost. Benefits experienced with Pure Storage’s portfolio include:

  • Unrivaled Performance with Cloud-Like Consumption Economics: By consuming Pure Storage FlashArray, an all-flash solution value-optimized for its specific workloads, via an Evergreen//Flex subscription, Berrios maintains ownership of its storage while benefiting from pay-as-you-go, cloudlike consumption economics.

As the team’s Preferred Cloud Storage, Wasabi lands high in-game and broadcast visibility; Canucks to leverage Wasabi hot cloud storage for digital operations

BOSTON, MA — March 12, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Wasabi Technologies, the hot cloud storage company, has strengthened its sports, media & entertainment customer and partner portfolio with the addition of the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Vancouver Canucks. In a new partnership with Canucks Sports & Entertainment, Wasabi becomes the Preferred Cloud Storage of the Canucks with extensive branding integration for the 2024 NHL season, while the Canucks benefit operationally from Wasabi’s best-in-class cloud data storage services via a multi-year technology deal.

Wasabi hot cloud storage is purpose-built for sports and media & entertainment (M&E) workloads, offering more affordability, accessibility, and simplicity than competitors. Its recent acquisition of Curio AI from GrayMeta further enables M&E customers like the Canucks to quickly search and index their entire video archives based on people, places, emotions, logos, and audio, and deliver content in the moment it is needed.

As the demand for Wasabi hot cloud storage grew for M&E, it opened a storage region in Toronto in the spring of 2022 to help service Canada’s extensive film and television industry. Overall, Wasabi has 13 storage regions worldwide across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific supporting M&E industry customers across professional sports, film and television, animation, publishing, and more.

“As the sports world turns full force to digital innovation, sports organizations must be able to effectively manage their data in all areas of their operations while managing growing IT costs and simultaneously delivering an exceptional fan experience,” said Terry Kalna, chief revenue officer, Canucks Sports & Entertainment. “Wasabi is offering an alternative to the market that will provide us with the freedom to innovate without having to worry about unexpected data storage bills. That changes the game.”

The Canucks join Wasabi’s extensive roster of professional sports organizations, which features the Boston Bruins, Boston Red Sox, and Liverpool Football Club, who are utilizing Wasabi hot cloud storage to innovate fan experience, digital strategy, and club operations. The Canucks will be able to quickly store and access their data from one simple tier with no fees for egress or API calls, meaning they can put their data to work in real time to enhance key facets of its business.

As the Preferred Cloud Storage of the Canucks, Wasabi’s brand will be prominently displayed throughout Rogers Arena, online and in-game broadcast moments. Wasabi will also expand its Corporate Social Responsibility program to support the Canucks for Kids Fund, which benefits children’s health and well-being, education, and grassroots hockey development across British Columbia.

“Canada is known for hockey, and for its booming entertainment industry. With Wasabi’s capabilities for professional sports and entertainment companies, this brand partnership could not be a better fit,” said Michael Welts, chief marketing officer, Wasabi Technologies. “We look forward to not only being great brand partners with the Canucks, but to also help them unleash their data and bring a next-level fan experience to British Columbia and beyond.”

  • Rubrik Enterprise Proactive Edition (EPE) supporting Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) for cloud, SaaS, and on-premises now generally available.
  • DSPM is critical for organizations to achieve cyber resilience against a multitude of evolving cyber threats including double extortion ransomware.
  • Rubrik Laminar is designed to give organizations full visibility into their most sensitive data to assess who is doing what with it.

PALO ALTO, Calif. – March 12, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation, and the Internet of Things have caused a data explosion, leading organizations to grapple with a surging amount of fragmented data where it lives.

Rubrik, the Zero Trust Data Security™ Company, announced today the general availability of its Rubrik Enterprise Proactive Edition (EPE), the industry’s only Data Security Product Suite of its kind that combines DSPM with recovery designed for complete cyber resilience, wherever data lives. Rubrik EPE allows organizations to secure mission-critical data for comprehensive protection, recovery, and resilience against tomorrow’s cyberattacks, whether in a cloud, SaaS, or on-premises environment.

According to Gartner®, “By 2026, more than 20% of organizations will deploy DSPM technology, due to the urgent requirements to identify and locate previously unknown data repositories and to mitigate associated security and privacy risks.”1 This need is exacerbated by data sprawl, with 61% of organizations surveyed in the most recent Rubrik Zero Labs State of Data Security report stating they store sensitive data in multiple locations across cloud, on-premises, and SaaS environments.

“One of the biggest challenges IT and security leaders face today is having full visibility into our organization’s most sensitive data. Because Rubrik combines data protection and data governance capabilities, we now have full visibility into who is accessing our data and what they are doing with it,” said Ryan Funk, IT Infrastructure Director, Blue Diamond Growers. “Rubrik EPE is a consolidated data security solution that will help reduce operating expenses while outpacing other cloud-only and on-premises DSPM contenders.”

Bridging Cyber Posture with Cyber Recovery to Drive Cyber Resilience
Rubrik EPE comes on the heels of the company’s acquisition of Laminar, the leading DSPM company focused on Cloud. Together, Rubrik and Laminar are creating the industry’s first and only complete cyber resilience offering of its kind to bring together cyber recovery and posture across enterprise, cloud, and SaaS.

Rubrik EPE’s DSPM capabilities are critical to combating modern cyberattacks that may use trusted credentials to encrypt, destroy, or steal data.

Core capabilities include:

  • Providing comprehensive visibility across a hybrid environment, from cloud and SaaS to data centers
  • Monitoring data assets to identify sensitive data, protection levels, and user access policies
  • Delivering insight into activities taken on those data sets
  • Discovering misconfigurations for IT and security teams to correct, and thereby reduce inadvertent data exposure

“Cyber threats have outpaced most companies’ ability to prevent them. Traditional security measures are obsolete; bad actors have more hacks, credential compromises and even AI at their disposal. Organizations are left to pick up the pieces wondering, ‘What will they think of next?’” said Mike Tornincasa, Chief Business Officer of Rubrik.. “With Rubrik EPE, businesses are now equipped to eliminate the fallout from an attack, whether bad actors are trying to destroy or publicly expose their critical data. I believe Rubrik will be the first and only solution of its kind, bridging cyber posture and recovery wherever data lives, for more complete cyber resilience.”

About Rubrik
Rubrik is on a mission to secure the world’s data. With Zero Trust Data Security™, we help organizations achieve business resilience against cyberattacks, malicious insiders, and operational disruptions. Rubrik Security Cloud, powered by machine learning, secures data across enterprise, cloud, and SaaS applications. We help organizations uphold data integrity, deliver data availability that withstands adverse conditions, continuously monitor data risks and threats, and restore businesses with their data when infrastructure is attacked.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – March 12, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — VergeIO, a leader in innovative software solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of ioGuardian for VergeOS, a cutting-edge backup solution designed to enhance data resilience and minimize downtime in the face of multiple drive or node failures. ioGuardian sets a new standard for backup and recovery processes by offering inline recovery capabilities, ensuring near-continuous data access without the need for traditional recovery timeframes.

Seamless Inline Recovery
ioGuardian for VergeOS is not just another backup solution; it is a paradigm shift in how businesses protect and access their critical data. Unlike conventional backup appliances that require significant downtime for data recovery, ioGuardian delivers missing data segments to virtual machines (VMs) in real time. Real-time data delivery means that even in scenarios where the primary VergeOS instance suffers from multiple drive failures, VMs can continue operating without any perceptible downtime, thus maintaining business continuity and enhancing overall productivity.

Simplified Requirements, Enhanced Deduplication
There is no additional software to buy. Integration of ioGuardian capabilities directly into VergeOS simplifies the backup process for customers and lowers costs. Only an additional server configured and licensed as the ioGuardian target is needed, which can be an older server or storage system capable of running VergeOS. Thanks to VergeOS’ global inline deduplication, the ioGuardian server requires minimal capacity planning, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes. The asynchronous data transfer allows for the use of hard disk drives instead of flash, further reducing costs without compromising on reliability.

Optimized Data Protection
ioGuardian leverages VergeOS snapshots, usually taken hourly, to tighten both Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). This frequent snapshot replication capability enables businesses to recover to the last known good state quickly in the event of a serious outage like multiple drive failures. Moreover, by adjusting RAM allocation, customers can achieve even more frequent snapshots, narrowing the RPO further without affecting system performance.

Superior to Instant Recovery
While some backup solutions offer instant recovery by restarting VMs on a backup appliance, ioGuardian’s inline recovery nearly eliminates downtime. Data is provided to VMs instantaneously maintaining operations on the primary instance and avoiding the performance penalties associated with running on backup hardware. This approach not only obviates the need for IT intervention during recovery but also offers an unparalleled RPO of less than an hour.

Strategic On-premises and Remote Placement
For optimal data protection, ioGuardian servers are best placed both on-premises and at a remote location. This dual-server approach ensures that data can still be recovered from the remote ioGuardian server in the event of a local disaster, providing an additional layer of security and peace of mind for businesses.

VergeOS is committed to empowering businesses with reliable, efficient, and innovative solutions like ioGuardian. By integrating advanced backup and recovery functionalities directly into VergeOS, we are setting new benchmarks for data protection and accessibility in the industry.

“Business continuity and DR is or should be an organizational priority,” said Marc Staimer, President Dragon Slayer Consulting. “Minimal downtime from an outage with non-disruptive recoveries are by far the most challenging aspect of all data protection. VergeIO’s ioGuardian is a highly effective data protection software defined technology specifically designed to cost effectively do just that.”

For more information on ioGuardian for VergeOS, please visit our website, contact our sales team, or join our webinar “Can Your Hypervisor Do This?”

About VergeIO
VergeIO is the leading VMware Alternative. Unlike hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), its ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI) rotates the traditional IT stack (computing, storage, and networking) into an integrated data center operating environment, VergeOS. Its efficiency enables greater workload density using existing hardware while improving data resiliency. The result is dramatically lower costs, improved availability, and greatly simplified IT.

Woburn, MA – March 7, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Kaspersky’s anti-phishing system thwarted over 709 million attempts to access phishing and scam websites in 2023, marking a 40 percent increase compared to the previous year’s figures. Messaging apps, artificial intelligence platforms, social media services, and cryptocurrency exchanges were among the pathways most frequently exploited by threat actors to scam users.

Kaspersky’s previous annual analysis of the spam and phishing threat landscape revealed a persistent trend for 2022: a marked increase in phishing attacks. The trend continued in 2023, with attacks surging by over 40 percent, reaching a staggering 709,590,011 attempts to access phishing links. Besides a significant spike in phishing activity observed in May and June, the number of attacks rose steadily throughout the year. Scammers commonly propagated travel-related scams, such as counterfeit airline tickets and fake hotel deals.

The widespread integration of technologies featuring built-in GPT chats has provided scammers with new avenues to exploit. However, attackers have not forgotten their time-honored tactics. High-profile releases, events, and premieres, such as Barbie and Wonka, remained irresistible to phishers and scammers, whose counterfeit websites ensnared those eager to access the next big thing ahead of schedule or at a discounted rate.

Additionally, Kaspersky experts observed a surge in attacks spread via messaging platforms. Kaspersky solutions thwarted 62,127 attempts to redirect via phishing and scam links on Telegram, a notable 22% increase in such threats from the year before.

As in the previous year, the majority of redirection attempts in messengers via phishing and scam links targeted users in Russia. Brazil maintained second place, doubling the number of blocked phishing attacks from the previous year, followed by Turkey, India, Germany, and Italy, where Telegram-based phishing activity also grew. Users from Mexico took seventh place this time, passing Saudi Arabia.

“Phishing remains a prevalent threat in today’s digital landscape, constantly evolving to deceive unsuspecting users,” said Olga Svistunova, security expert at Kaspersky. “Vigilance and skepticism are our strongest defenses against falling victim to these malicious schemes. Stay cautious, verify before you click, and protect your digital identity.”

To learn more about phishing threat landscape, visit Securelist.com.

In order to avoid becoming a victim of phishing-based scams, Kaspersky experts advise the following:

·       Only open emails and click links if you are sure you can trust the sender.

·       When a sender is legitimate, but the content of the message seems strange, it is worth checking with the sender via an alternative means of communication.

·       Check the spelling of a website’s URL if you suspect you are faced with a phishing page. If you are, the URL may contain mistakes that are hard to spot at first glance, such as a 1 instead of I or 0 instead of O.

·       Use a proven security solution when surfing the web. Thanks to access to international threat intelligence sources, these solutions are capable of spotting and blocking spam and phishing campaigns.

About Kaspersky
Kaspersky is a global cybersecurity and digital privacy company founded in 1997. Kaspersky’s deep threat intelligence and security expertise is constantly transforming into innovative security solutions and services to protect businesses, critical infrastructure, governments and consumers around the globe.

99% of APAC respondents believe their organization will adopt, or will plan to adopt AI/ML applications and services within the next 12 months

  • 93% of APAC organizations will increase the amount of data they store in the public cloud in 2024, as the region continues to embrace cloud infrastructure services
  • 90% of APAC organizations will increase their public cloud storage budgets in 2024, driven by business transformation initiatives and growing data security requirements
  • APAC respondents rank sustainability as one of their top considerations for choosing a cloud storage provider
  • Across APAC, the #1 priorities driving AI/ML adoption are operational improvements and efficiencies; and to accelerate product innovation and development

BOSTON and TOKYO – March 5, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Asia-Pacific organizations are increasing their investments in public cloud storage to drive infrastructure migration, cloud modernization, and new data security and recovery requirements. According to the 2024 Wasabi Global Cloud Storage Index, 93% of APAC organizations expect to increase the amount of data they store in the public cloud in 2024, up 8% from last year. Commissioned by Wasabi Technologies, the hot cloud storage company, and conducted by Vanson Bourne, the Wasabi Global Cloud Storage Index uncovers the changing attitudes toward public cloud storage adoption, the factors that influence storage buying decisions, and the top priorities when it comes to budget, capacity, vendor selection, billing, features and satisfaction.

The 2024 Cloud Storage Index shows 47% of respondent’s cloud storage bills are allocated to various data operations and retrieval fees. APAC enterprises are no exception, with a similar proportion of billing allocated to fees. Japan and Australia indicated an even higher proportional mix of fees, at 50%. Nevertheless, countries across the APAC region continue to increase their budgets and the amount of data they store in the cloud to support new IT initiatives like cloud infrastructure migration and modernization, and to enhance backup, recovery, and other data security requirements.

Japan is planning for continued investments in cloud storage, despite an unfavorable mix of spending on storage-related data fees

  • 94% of Japan respondents say they will increase the amount of data they store in the public cloud in 2024, a slightly higher rate than the global average of 93%
  • However, a large proportion of storage spending in Japan goes to storage fees, not storage capacity. Japan organizations say half their cloud storage bill (50%) is consumed by storage fees like data operations, retrieval, transfer, and egress
  • These fees are part of the reason why 55% of Japan organizations say they exceeded their budgeted spend on cloud storage
  • When asked about AI/ML initiatives, generative AI ranked #1 among Japan as the leading workload planned for deployment, or currently deployed
  • When asked about the top priorities driving AI/ML adoption in 2024, Japan respondents ranked accelerating innovation and development cycles for existing products/services and improving customer facing product/services as their top drivers
  • Thinking specifically about storage-related AI/ML challenges, Japan ranked unpredictable storage cost patterns (e.g., egress fees, data access fees), as a leading concern

“Despite many organizations struggling to control cloud costs due to complex and ubiquitous fee structures, we’re still seeing continued growth and adoption across the APAC region, particularly in Japan,” said Andrew Smith, senior manager of strategy and market intelligence at Wasabi Technologies, and a former IDC analyst. “44% of APAC respondents we surveyed consider their organization’s IT services adoption strategy to be ‘cloud-first,’ indicating they will continue to prioritize cloud services adoption over any alternative requiring owned or on-premises infrastructure.”

100% of Australia respondents say their organization will adopt, or will plan to adopt AI/ML applications or services within the next 12 months

  • 89% of Australia respondents say they expect to increase the amount of data their organization stores in the public cloud in 2024. This is slightly below the APAC average of 93%, but still an impressively high result
  • 83% of Australian respondents say they expect their organization’s public cloud storage budget to increase in 2024
  • Similar to Japan, Australia also has a slightly higher proportional mix of spending on fees, with respondents saying 50% of their cloud storage budget is allocated to fees. This unfavorable mix is likely part of the reason why 50% of Australian respondents say their organization exceeded budgeted spend on cloud storage last year
  • All of our Australia respondents (100%) say their organization is adopting or planning to adopt some form of AI/ML application or service within the next 12 months. Certainly, this indicates an eager willingness to expand AI/ML solutions and strategies in Australia, but this endeavor won’t come without infrastructure-related challenges. Specifically, Australia respondents indicated a high rate of concern with addressing new data backup, protection and recovery requirements associated with AI/ML adoption

Singapore prioritizes IT cloud services sustainability, and looks to drive operational improvements through AI/ML solution adoption

  • For the second year in a row, Singapore ranked sustainability (in terms of infrastructure architecture, service provider initiatives/commitments, or built-in tools for things like carbon footprint calculation) as the #1 most important consideration when it comes to choosing a cloud storage provider/service
  • Singapore indicates a lower proportional mix of cloud storage fees (with only 44% of billing allocated to fees, on average). However, counterintuitively, Singapore indicated the highest rate of budget excess among all countries surveyed; with 66% of Singapore respondents saying their organization exceeded budgeted spend on cloud storage in 2023
  • Singapore ranked operational improvements as the #1 driver for AI/ML implementation, and chose AI/ML solutions for security and compliance (e.g., advanced anomaly detection) as the top workload their organization has implemented or is planning to implement solutions for

“It comes as no surprise that APAC followed suit with the global trend that ranked AI/ML incorporation as a top priority,” said Michael King, VP & GM, Asia Pacific and Japan, Wasabi Technologies. “Enterprises are realizing that to maintain a competitive edge, they must find new and innovative ways to deploy AI capabilities, both for internal processes and as offerings to customers. That is why many are looking to increase their storage amount to host the mountain of data that is necessary to run AI/ML applications that have become so critical.”

Emerging APAC markets (India & South Korea) indicate even higher rates of cloud storage capacity and budget growth, and are prioritizing unique use cases when it comes to AI/ML adoption

  • This year the Cloud Storage Index included respondents from India and South Korea in order to gain perspective and understanding on high-growth markets within the larger APAC region
  • 96% of respondents across both India and South Korea indicate their organization will increase the amount of data stored in the public cloud in 2024
  • Similarly, 96% of South Korea respondents say their organization will increase public cloud storage budgets in 2024 (compared to 90% in India)
  • India and South Korea both ranked “accelerating innovation and development cycles for existing products/services” as the leading driver of AI/ML solution adoption. In terms of planned and implemented AI/ML workloads, India ranked computer vision (inclusive of a range of image and video processing or recognition) as a leading use case, and South Korea identified gaming applications (including 3D rendering) as one of its top 3 workloads driving AI/ML adoption, higher than any other country surveyed

SEATTLE, WA – March 05, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Today, Qumulo, the simple way to manage exabyte-scale data anywhere, announced the availability of Azure Native Qumulo Cold (ANQ Cold), part of Qumulo’s Scale AnywhereTM platform for the hybrid enterprise. ANQ Cold is the world’s first cloud-native service to cost-effectively store and retrieve infrequently accessed “cold” file data at any scale. At just $0.009 per GB per month, ANQ Cold is up to 90% less expensive than other cloud file storage services.

With ANQ Cold, for the first time ever, customers with large-scale, infrequently accessed data in cumbersome, legacy scale-out NAS archive offerings and tape archives have a compelling and cost-effective cloud offering. ANQ Cold is fully POSIX compliant, guaranteeing customer’s file-dependent applications need not change.

ANQ Cold can be used as a stand-alone file service, as a backup target for any file store, including on-premises legacy scale-out NAS, and can be integrated into a hybrid storage infrastructure using Qumulo Global NameSpace, the way to access remote data as if it were local.

“ANQ Cold is an industry game changer for economically storing and retrieving cold file data,” says Ryan Farris, VP of Product at Qumulo. “To put this in perspective with a common use case, hospital IT administrators in charge of PACS archival data can use ANQ Cold for the long-term retention of DICOM images at a fraction of their current on-premises legacy NAS costs, while still being able to instantly retrieve over 200,000 DICOM images per month without extra data retrieval charges common to native cloud services.”

ANQ Cold, the only cloud-native file service to cost-effectively store and retrieve infrequently accessed “cold” file data at any scale at any scale, provides Qumulo customers:

  • Cloud simplicity. ANQ Cold’s rapid deployment, directly from the familiar Azure portal interface, gets customers running in just minutes.
  • Cloud scale. A single ANQ Cold service instance can scale to an exabyte-level file system in a single namespace
  • Cloud-reliability. ANQ Cold leverages Azure’s 11 nines of data durability.
  • Cloud-elasticity. Unlike on-premise legacy NAS, which is stranded on inexpensive but low-powered hardware, an ANQ Cold instance can on-demand, deliver the performance of a production primary tier.

ANQ Cold allows PACS customers the ability to instantly retrieve cold images from a live filesystem, offering seamless file compatibility with PACS applications. “In pediatrics, we have to keep imaging files until the child turns 21,” says J.D. Whitlock, CIO of Dayton Children’s Hospital. “After a few years, it’s unlikely we will need to look at the image. But we have to keep it around for medical-legal purposes. Keeping this massive store of imaging data on secure, scalable, reliable, and cost-effective cloud storage is a perfect solution for us.”

Customers can also leverage ANQ cold as a robust, secure copy of critical data as insurance against ransomware attacks. Thanks to Azure’s security, ANQ Cold’s inexpensive data-at-rest rates, affordable data retrieval charges, and ANQ Cold’s cloud-elasticity, customers can expect near-zero data recovery time. This ensures high availability and seamless business continuity during an attack, avoids costly ransoms to bad actors, and keeps ransomware insurance premiums low.

“With ANQ Cold, we offer enterprises a compelling solution to protect against ransomware,” says Kiran Bhageshpur, CTO at Qumulo. “In combination with our cryptographically signed snapshots, customers can create an instantly accessible “daily golden” copy of their on-premises NAS data, Qumulo or legacy scale-out NAS storage. There is simply no other solution that is as affordable on an on-going basis while also allowing customers to recover to a known good state and resume operations as quickly as with ANQ Cold.”

ANQ Cold offers a familiar pay-as-you-go pricing model. Customers pay only for the capacity consumed, while enjoying all the traditional enterprise features they would expect of an industry-leading on-premises filesystem.

ANQ Cold’s price per TB per month is $9.95 in the anchor regions of westus2 and eastus2. Prices may be higher in other regions due to variability in regional Azure costs.

  • Customers receive 5TB of data retrieval included each month. After 5TB, customers will be charged at the rate of $0.03/GB until the first of the following month, when another 5TB will be allowed.
  • There is a minimum 120-day retention period – i.e., data deleted before 120 days will be billed as if it were left on the system for 120 days.
