For organizations that SaaS-enable applications and need enterprise grade data protection and reliable, high-performance file sharing, SoftNAS Cloud Enterprise delivers these advanced capabilities.

“As an AWS Advanced Consulting partner and MSP, Relus Cloud works with SoftNAS to enable our clients to migrate business critical applications to AWS without re-architecting.

In addition to the fact that SoftNAS provides great products, their support team is so knowledgeable and helpful. SoftNAS really sets its partners up for success,” stated Mike Ostrowski, Vice President, Cloud Delivery, Relus Technologies.

SoftNAS Cloud Platinum completes the vision for software-defined high-performance hybrid cloud computing at petabyte scale. Announcing the public beta, SoftNAS Cloud Platinum is a trailblazing product combining a software-defined, enterprise-class NAS virtual storage appliance with built-in design & configure hybrid cloud data management and movement. Patent-pending SoftNAS® UltraFast™ technology increases data transfer speeds up to 20 times faster than standard TCP/IP networks to accelerate data migrations for cloud backups and bulk data. SoftNAS Cloud Platinum’s design and configure wizards enable IT to “Lift and Shift” live data from an on-premises NAS or file server to the desired SoftNAS Cloud destination point, and then migrate the data quickly, whether to AWS, Microsoft Azure or VMware-hosted clouds. SoftNAS Lift and Shift enables live data migration, avoiding the need to freeze production systems for days, weeks or months while data volumes are offline migrated to the cloud. With SoftNAS Cloud Platinum, customers leverage existing design and configure wizards or create their own data flows, processes, and templates, effectively ingesting and transforming any type of data.

“We are excited to have SoftNAS as a partner helping drive our Azure cloud practice growth. The SoftNAS hybrid cloud data management platform gives our hybrid and public cloud customers advanced data management and orchestration capabilities to accelerate their corporate initiatives,” Mitch Feldman, Chief Digital Officer, RedPixie.

“IT struggles with the exponentially increasing data generated by businesses from many different sources including Internet of Things. We developed the SoftNAS Cloud Platinum product to simplify control and management of rapidly growing data complexity and volume,” said Rick Braddy, CEO, CTO and Founder of SoftNAS. “SoftNAS addresses the impracticalities that plague real-world, broader hybrid cloud adoption, so IT can control its data destiny, make its cloud journey easier, safer and faster, and save hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

A preview of SoftNAS Cloud Platinum beta features, including high-speed bulk data transfer, lift and shift of on-premises workloads to public cloud, many-to-one replication template and a commercially supported version of Apache NiFi, is now available. Existing customers that have upgraded to SoftNAS Cloud version 3.6 can access the beta features from the SoftNAS StorageCenter™.
