New features accelerate performance for standard S3 and on-premises glacier-like storage, and improve ransomware resiliency
Spectra Logic has announced several enhancements to Spectra Vail, its multi-cloud data management software, that further enriches Vail’s ability to combine any storage into a single global namespace - delivering universal access and placement of data across multi-site and multi-cloud storage no matter where the data resides. Spectra Vail centralises data management across on-premises and multi-cloud architectures, simplifying the access, sharing, usage and protection of data.
Delivering policy-based data orchestration, Vail streamlines workflows and reduces overall costs and complexities for organisations that want to leverage the power of the cloud. With Vail and Vail-enabled BlackPearl S3, organisations can take full advantage of cloud services - no matter where data is created or located, whether in the cloud or on-premises.
New Vail enhancements provide:
- The industry’s only fully qualified on-premises glacier-like solution that enables any software with an S3 interface to have direct access to local tape or nearline object storage with the use of S3 glacier-like commands that mimic AWS
- Simple S3 disk and S3 glacier tape to modernise data protection and backup applications
- Flexible implementation of either a global cloud-based object database for universal access or a local on-premises object database for optimised performance
- Support for AWS Object Lock using on-premises storage targets to protect data against ransomware and malicious activity
- Direct integration of any cloud services, including artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), with on-premises data using intelligent object synchronisation
- Scheduled and instant data placement and orchestration using lifecycle rules and staging interfaces
- Global object placement and visibility to optimise the performance, economics and location of data
“Today’s data-driven organisations are generating, sharing, and protecting petabytes of data both locally and in the cloud to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges,” said David Feller, Spectra Logic vice president of product management and solutions engineering. “Vail elegantly manages data globally, providing universal access and data placement while offering a seamless connection to multiple sites and clouds. Organisations can focus on the value and usage of data while still meeting corporate cloud-first directives and lowering total cost of ownership.”
