Actifio to offer enterprise application data vaulting in Google Cloud Storage Nearline; Enterprise customers get long-term storage economics with immediate data availability –
Actifio has entered into a strategic relationship with Google Cloud Platform that will provide Actifio customers with one-click access to Google’s long term vaulting solution, Google Cloud Storage Nearline, right from within the Actifio platform.
Now Actifio customers can just as easily add a high performance “Vault” profile to their SLA portfolio, enabling them to move application data directly into Google’s new long-term storage platform, Google Cloud Storage Nearline. With just a click, you’ll get long term storage economics (~1¢/GB for data at rest) with immediate availability performance (~3 second response times for data retrieval.)
Other features of the Actifio integration with Google Cloud Storage Nearline include local storage availability, improved data access, compression and encryption etc.
“Actifio’s application-centric approach to copy data management frees our customers from the constraints of any particular infrastructure. That makes Actifio the perfect solution to migrate late lifecycle data – automatically – into a cloud-based storage solution like Cloud Storage Nearline.” said Actifio Founder & CEO Ash Ashutosh.
Bob Dolinsky, CIO of Sutherland, a global law firm said “Google Cloud Storage Nearline’s attractive cost per terabyte and fast data availability are things we are considering as we look for the right solution to reduce our internal technology footprint. Being able to access this type of infrastructure through our Actifio copy data virtualization platform would give us the option to combine the public cloud economics we want with the enterprise features we have and need.”
