Super-Charge Your NAS Environment

All-flash storage and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) systems are delivering next-generation levels of performance, simplicity and reliability. Unfortunately, these benefits often elude storage-hungry NAS environments because they’re simply too big.

The key to making your NAS environment appropriate for all-flash configurations is to right-size it.  That means making it small enough to cost-effectively live inside an all-flash footprint.  So, how do you do that without throwing away files that still have business value?  With DefendX, that’s how.

DefendX Mobility is an automated, policy-driven application that archives inactive files to more cost-effective storage tiers or cloud services.  The result is a smaller, all-flash or HCI-friendly active file set that is still seamlessly connected to its archive storage systems.  Now, all of the benefits of an all-flash storage environment can be extended to include your right-sized NAS environment too!

See Enterprise Strategies Group Paper on the subject here.

NEVER ASSUME…

You might assume that every backup or tiering product makes a complete and correct copy of the files it touches… You can make that assumption, but you would be wrong. There are several backup products and tiering products that discard elements of your files, and even more that discard metadata.
