On-premises to Cloud Backup
With SoftNAS SnapReplicate™, easily replicate and backup your data from your VMware datacenter to the AWS, Microsoft Azure or CenturyLink Cloud public clouds. Eliminate physical backup tape required by business compliance and archive data in inexpensive S3 object storage or send to cold storage like AWS Glacier for long-term storage.
Cross-cloud Data Migration
Server migrations can be complex, time consuming and error prone. SoftNAS Cloud seamlessly replicates data across AWS, Microsoft Azure, CenturyLink Cloud and VMware vSphere for easy cross-cloud data migration. Your data stays free to migrate, never locked down.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Easy-to-configure High-Availability (HA) with automatic failover and a 99.999% guaranteed uptime make SoftNAS Cloud a natural choice for your Disaster Recovery. Ensure business continuity in today’s 24x7x365 always-on business climate.
Faster Backup and Archival
As a business’ data grows, the backup window can become unmanageable and tie up precious network resources during business hours. SoftNAS Cloud local disk-based caching reduces the backup window by streaming data in the background for better WAN optimization.
Dev/Test Environments
Use SoftNAS Cloud to stand up test environments for agile development. Instant writable SnapClones allow regression testing of production data for more accurate testing throughout continuous delivery cycles. Leverage the agility of SoftNAS to change the storage performance and capacity profile at any time as you move from test to production.
New Applications and Proofs of Concept
Need the quickest way to stand up storage infrastructure for a new application or proof of concept project without any storage hardware? As a virtual storage appliance on AWS, Azure and CenturyLink Cloud or for VMware for on-premises projects, you can use SoftNAS Cloud to create your storage infrastructure in minutes. Don’t wait for traditional slow procurement processes to get your job done; get started immediately.
Extend the Life of Legacy SAN or Existing Storage Hardware
It’s no secret the maintenance renewal costs for legacy SANs are just as much, if not more, than replacing your entire datacenter infrastructure. With hardware neutral SoftNAS Cloud, extend the life your existing storage resources and maximize your budget. Use SoftNAS Cloud to provide a rich enterprise class set of features and leverage your existing SAN for the data store.
