Object Storage is a Game Changer

Object storage is a game changer for enterprise long-term data retention. It offers significant advantages for scalability, easy access, built-in availability and security. Importantly, object storage is based on industry standards, removing dreaded “vendor lock-in” experience.

StorageX 8.0 introduces file-to-object conversion, so you can quickly convert legacy files to object and enjoy all the benefits that object storage offers. StorageX provides a web-based Retrieval Portal to access your S3 files and you may access your S3 files natively using any S3-compliant browser or using S3-compliant APIs.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]

StorageX Puts You in Control

Using StorageX, you can quickly move files to the location where you need it and when you need it. No more vendor lock-in. NAS to NAS migration continues to be very important; but, we believe that new file-to-object conversion and migration will have a major impact on your enterprise storage strategy.

For enterprises looking for improved scalability and accessibility, object storage is the perfect choice. Object storage is directly accessible from custom applications, using RESTful API. Use object storage to modernize your existing applications that access large amounts of data. Customer service and support is a good example.

StorageX is used today by 24 of the top Fortune 100 companies. StorageX has optimized more than 160 PB of storage, saving more than 80 years in project time and $80 million in total storage costs. To learn more about StorageX 8.0 visit our web pages.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
