In the Cloud, the Possibilities are Endless

What if you could…. •  Test workloads in the cloud before committing CAPEX to hardware that

might not be suitable?

•  Store your data in the cloud without being limited by WAN performance?

•  Access cloud data through standard NAS protocols so you don’t need to re-write applications?

•  Move away from a legacy NAS environment and to a next-generation hybrid cloud environment – without the pain usually associated with such a move?

•  Have all the functionality of a physical DR site without the cost?

Case study: Centralised Cloud Storage

Customer Requirement:

•  Store all technical data centrally for users at offices around the world to allow for collaboration and centralised QA

•  Reduce NAS costs and NAS sprawl

•  Delivering high performance throughput to users of seismic applications at remote offices

•  Secure data

•  Provide a WW Global Namespace to all users for ease of access and administration

Solution Benefits:

•  Centralise WW data in the cloud with no compromise on performance

•  Reduce NAS costs & sprawl

•  Storage becomes OPEX-only

Case study: Low cost test and demo

Customer Requirement:

•  Provide a complete test/demo environment for their software

•  Must include high capacity compute nodes (32GB+ RAM each; minimum 4 cores), block and object storage and networking

•  Deliver a low cost solution that fits their usage model (only in use a few hours a day)

•  Must be rapidly scalable to demonstrate software’s scale-out capability i.e. min 2 node clusters, growing up to 8+ nodes
