Cloud Storage

Cloud architectures, whether public or private, represent a huge design shift from traditional enterprise IT.  Instead of scaling up with expensive server and storage hardware, cloud environments scale out with lower cost components.  Rather than waiting weeks for IT to approve and provision resources, end users expect immediate self-service options like those available on consumer Internet services.  Instead of dealing with multiple layers of complex feature-centric technology, CIOs want to think about utility services that enable automation and agility. 

Coraid EtherDrive has become a platform of choice for public and private cloud storage, based on its disruptive economics, high performance and extreme flexibility.  Ethernet SAN eliminates multiple layers of complex SAN topology, including multi-pathing software, port bonding, and switch configuration.  EtherDrive shelves can be configured and deployed in under two minutes.  EtherDrive’s RESTful management interface enables cloud automation and scripting, pushing control “up the stack” and transforming storage into a utility.
